This means you can’t pass the game around to your friends or sell it afterwards, which completely ruins the purpose of physical media imo. I mostly play PC these days so this doesn’t affect me, but it’s a disappointing direction for console games. At least they could’ve used an empty disc that has proof of ownership.
EDIT: Bethesda has confirmed that only the PC version won’t include a disc. Physical versions of Xbox will include a disc. Whew.
We don’t own media anymore
I never thought I’d write something like this but by pirating it and downloading it on our hard drives, we come closest to what we used to know as ‘own’

It’s more a combo of “Gabe doesn’t care” and “Steam makes it really easy to add pirated games to your list”
Idk, feels more comfy if the Games just work on the Steam Deck or Linux PC without needing to tinker.

Mmmmmm my torrents say otherwise. Can’t stop me! Shit like this is why I torrent unless you’ve got tapes or wax for me.
(This message was brought to you bt Piracy.)
True, that’s why I only buy at rent price.
Pirate -> burn to disc
Congrats, you own a physical copy.
