for anyone who doesn't know, when you buy a digital game you don't technically "own" the game you just bought. you own a license that allows you to play it. you can't lend it to a friend or sell it, you essentially have nothing, when you could have bought physical and truly owned it. it has nothing to do with updates at all. when you buy digital you let the publisher play you for a chump, and some people don't like that.

That is a grey area... And depending on region the buy a license would probably not hold any weight in court, especially in regions with pro-consumer stances, because most stores advertise it as "Buy this game" and not "Buy a license for this game".

Don't really get the point you're trying to make with storage here as it has nothing really to do with the topic.

I own OW on PC your patches argument still doesn't fly as that's over a long period of time and no people can buy what ever game they want as they manage their data all the time it still doesn't stop this action by Blizzard being a significant inconvenience this comment in itself is not a valid defence in any context here as people in that position would have already accounted for it being online only it's having to download the full base game that would be the issue.

Er. Has everything to do with it, it necessitates the need to uninstall/reinstall games if you have a sizable library.

We are just going to have to agree to disagree on that second half... Because again, Physical is great... There is just lots of reasons to make Overwatch a digital only game on Switch.

You're not making any sense with this because if someone is buying physical their library will be on carts :/
