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.

      Ah, hadn’t realised you were on about PC gaming.

      Physical editions for PC gaming for me died a long time ago as I pretty much exclusively use Steam.

      Consoles however I always try and get physical where possible.
