lol. Look at everyone here making mountains out of molehills. Minecraft for the Vita's "physical release" was just a download code in a box. FFX/FFX-2's collection had FFX on cart, and FFX-2 for download. Bayonetta 2's free copy of Bayonetta was a download code on Switch.

This has been going on for years and years and years. But now we're supposed to throw up our arms because Activision has done the same thing that has been done probably dozens of other times? Meh. There are far bigger things to get upset over in the games industry.

None of those games use discs which are cheaper for data storage than cartridges and would cost less to put them all on one disc as opposed to using higher-storage carts, which would cost more, so you're just comparing apples and oranges. There's NO excuse for pulling this shit for disc-based games. There WAS backlash over the MMXL and RER Collections doing this shit BTW as Ganon pointed out. 

Activi$ion can go eat a fat one. They've pulled by far the most anti-consumer shit of any publisher this year. 

In other posts I listed other examples where discs were/should have been used, such as the Metal Gear Solid Legacy collection for PS3, God of War Saga for PS3, Tomb Raider collection for X306, and Sonic Mania for PS4/X1. I'm not comparing Apples and Oranges.  This shit has been pulled on disc-based games plenty of times over the years.

As for backlash on those other games, again, why now? Whether people started getting upset at this July, or April doesn't make much a difference if they weren't getting upset about it in 2008. My point was people are only getting upset over this shit now when publishers have been doing it for a decade, and that's seems a bit silly. It would be like getting upset at Nintendo next year for selling the N64 Classic without a means to power them included in the box.
