Can’t use the word “buy” if you can’t actually buy the thing.

    many discs have required updates included.

    Some do, most don’t. You can check here. I see this “physical media is unusable without an internet connection anyway” statement bandied about a lot and it’s simply not true.

      I guess but having DRM free installers does more for ownership than a proprietary (currently) impossible to duplicate disc.

      I don’t think physical media is the end-all to physical ownership is all I’m getting at.
