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.
I enjoy tinkering with my PC and Linux because you cant do shit on Windows.
But I like to keep my Steam Deck just working and play around with my PC instead.
Cloud sync is not working with pirated games and an easy download is not possible for them when you randomly visit someone.
