So on wii u when u enter a disk u have to wait 5 mins for it to update. Ps4/xbox1 you have to download the game, pc you have to get it from steam. Also NX is not gonna have a disk and will be digital. Yup gaming in a few years will be all digital.

is this real?
if yes, than i'm speechless


Its been happening with other games like MKX



These reactions ... it would appear that people do not know that this has been common for years.



The physical collector's edition of Dark Souls 2 for the PC was similar. They didn't actually include a disc, though. It came with the steelbook case, and there were slots for the game and the soundtrack, but the game slot was empty. I had to activate and download via the included steam code.

So, they decided to make a physical copy, with a disc instead of a download code, yet didn't include the game on the disc? Unless Konami is getting sponsored by ISP's I fail to see the logic behind this.

lazyness.

Easier to just make the game only steam on pc, and just force users to use it.



That's amazing if it's true, I feel bad for anyone who has really bad internet or data caps who pre ordered the physical copy from Amazon so they wouldn't have to download it.
