I wont be till till there is physical. Paying $80+ for a digital license is quite egregious. I dont care how good they think their farts smell.

And there are SOOOOO many other great games releasing.

Paying 80$ for a digital license is egregious? PC players pay exclusively for digital licenses, is it egregious then too?

Games aren't $80 on PC. And yes, having no physical game option is arguably the worst thing about PC gaming. And one of the best benefits of console gaming.

Well the price is really more for the game itself

Unlikey what you get for $80 is anything more than a license to use the software. No ownership.

Thats for a non-transferrable digital license.

Something pc gamers have been doing for 15-20 years with no issues. Every game I’ve ever bought on steam is still there for me to play at any time. Meanwhile, I don’t own any of the ps2/ps3/ps4 shit I used to have and I really don’t care.

That's cool. But not everybody want to give away their control and consumer rights away to corporations. It's too bad gamers lost that on PC. Maybe if it werent for pirates, that option would still exist there. But it thankfully still exists on console. Don't see anything wrong with trying to preserve that. Your digital preorders arent going anywhere.
