God of War Laufey is the next big game to get a collector box without the game itself.
Does two high profile releases make a trend?
If so, I don’t like this trend.

Yes, it does make things worse. Did you notice that this doesn’t even come with a steelbook? Collector’s editions always came with both a steelbook and the game itself. First they removed the disc as part of the package but kept the steelbook, now they are “discontinuing” discs altogether, and you say that it’s ok? Do you enjoy getting screwed over? There’s no excuse to not even include a digital copy. Do you know of anyone that would buy this but not actually play the game? You’re either a bot shilling for corporations or extremely submissive and/or gullible.
How am I getting screwed over? There is a product (the merch) and a price for the product. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Why are they not allowed to just sell a box with merch?
Probably not, but who am I to judge. Everybody who buys the merch can still also buy the game on whatever medium is available. If the game was included, the price would be higher. If a download key was included, people who want a physical disc would be unhappy. If a disc was included, people who want all digital would be unhappy.
The median price was always 150-200 USD and all collector’s editions used to include a game copy (physical or digital). What they’re doing is taking stuff out and keeping the price the same. Accepting this as a consumer, again, is extremely dumb and submissive.
You mean digitally. That’s the medium they can control even after you’ve paid for the game so that’s the only one they want you to have.
