The moment we saw the cardboard disk in the “physical copies” should’ve been a red flag

oh dear

Waitholup, there were WHAT in the disk cases??

You know, for a minute there I thought Blizzard had conducted this year’s greatest video-game cock-up. Then Bethesda said “Hold my Nuka Cola” and started a dumpster fire. 

Seriously why is this worth such an outrage? Most games these days don’t come on disks anymore bc they’re just too fucking huge and you’d need several disks to install them. Like 50 GB would probably require between 5 and 10 disks to fit on. 

But Bethesda is where this is being a complaint? 

The outrage is advertising and charging for a “physical copy” (which might include shipping) and giving people the exact same thing as if they’d bought the game digitally. At least to my knowledge

Other companies, as far as I’m aware, don’t even advertise having a “physical copy,” let alone charge for it

EDIT: After a bit of looking around, people were also upset that, being as the “physical copy” was still just a digital code, albeit printed on a piece of cardboard, they still had to pay shipping, and then wait for it to arrive before they could play.
