@thehdroom Pressing three UHD 100 discs costs <$4. They're already shipping game boxes.

They can just upcharge the physical release by $5.

Simple.

This isn't about file size or leaks. It's about killing resale/sharing and fostering a walled garden of control where they can..

@Cerealkinder435 @MoussaPerso ..concern there are multiple contingencies ranging from firmware locks through to small delays for full physical releases.

[Mitchings @Mitchings]

@Cerealkinder435 @MoussaPerso ..offset the small resale/sharing loss from the small number of people within a smaller segment of the market who do resell or share.

They're already shipping boxes, might as well put discs in it and address the market segment at the appropriate premium.

[Mitchings @Mitchings]

@bartonovopolis ..mandate that not only physical versions must have contingencies for resale but also extend that to digital; seeing as they're unable to respect the difference themselves. They've had it to easy with their walled gardens of control.

[Mitchings @Mitchings]

@bartonovopolis ..hope is the PC version gets pirated or any DRM is defeated asap once it releases and can act as an archival copy of sorts.

R*/T2 deserve it for this. I'm not usually one for excessive regulation but I'd love it if various regulatory / anti-consumer bodies get involved and..
