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.

    Sure it is, just Google “pre-owned games” and you’ll probably have hits from whatever the main game supplier is in your country (GameStop, GAME etc.).

        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.
