Star Wars Outlaws could be everything I’ve ever wanted from a Star Wars game | Video Gamer

It’s crazy, man. It’s almost like someone saying, “an update patch requires internet to download/install!? No BUUuuuUuuYYY!!!!”

And the response is always the f*cking same, it’s always, “but what about people who don’t have internet or bad internet?” How many of you all are using PS+ or GamePass? All that requires a network connection to download your complimentary free monthly games… do you all refuse to download those because they’re digital!?

As for the “delisted” response, look at Steam that’s been around for ages and look at games you can still go back to. Physical doesn’t last forever, you can boomerang the same thing and say, “what if there’s no physical copies left to acquire or the version you have no longer runs?” Maybe as long as Ubisoft exists you’ll be able to install patches for the game. You still can for Xbox 360 games… and I mean what if there’s a “game breaking bug” that requires a patch? What will you do then? Just play the game until you trigger the bug because all yoi have is the physical version and no access to the internet?

The crazy hypocrisy behind it is they’ll emulate the game, which is all digital and requires access to the internet…

Like, I get when we were new with games and internet. I honestly don’t think the majority of gamers even care about physical. We already see digital sales trumping physical.

Also, for the record on delisting, yes it sucks and I think every company is required to announce a delisting a month in advance and to make sure media outlets announce it so people can get a game before that happens. But for physical it happens just the same with no longer having print runs and people on eBay selling a game for $1000. It might as well be the exact same as a digital delisting at that point.

Again, this is for an install ONLY. You might as well flip out over every Day 1 Patch requiring an online connection 🙄 for a physical game and refuse buying them then because it makes NO sense that you’re ok with an online update but not an online install. I just can’t imagine refusing to play a game just because it requires an online connectivity for an install in this day and age.
