Fact is, current software licensing laws needs to change. Doesn’t matter whether I own a physical copy or a digital copy, a company shouldn’t be able to decide that I can’t access the product I paid for anymore.
I know it's a joke, but that's not completly true. There are a lot game that are playable without downloading something. Does it play is a website that shows you, if your pysical version is able to play a game without downloading something.
People keep saying that they want to have the whole game on physical disks -- but I wonder how they'd react to the likes of RDR2 running from optical disks.
You are about to enter Saint Denis. Please insert disk #8. And then you have to wait for the world to pop in because rotational media is inherently slow.
