Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi has offered an explanation for why the physical disc version of the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox requires a download to play.
Fair point, that is an upside. But it still feels like it has all the other downsides of both formats. They can take it away whenever they want because the full game isn’t on disc, and it required all the plastic and shipping to move a physical product without all of the product actually on disc anyway.
It might let you download less than would be the case if it were purely digital.
There are people out there who don’t have the most amazing Internet connections.
I remember having to download games bit by bit (heh) over 2 weeks
