Thanks Microsoft! How anti-consumer of you!!
No More Digital Codes With Console Bundles, First Account Linked To New Xbox Gets License
Resellers BTFO
Why the fuck would you buy an Xbone?
Why should I buy an xbox?
they're just enhancing your gaming experience by acting like a despot corporation from the game.
redbox reselling Disney codes from bundle packs got attention now everyone is moving to stuff like this.
It is pro retarded consumers who can't even type in a code.
based
I bought one of those $200 Spider-Man PS4s and it gave me a physical copy. Are there really people who buy console bundles that don't even give you a game you own?
It's ok when Nintendo does it
>Always online bullshit
We tried to warn you.
Nintendo gives you a fucking code bro. Sometimes not the game for the themed console though KEK.
No, there were several limited bundles already that had the game pre-installed since 3DS time
>No More Digital Codes With Console Bundles,
Oh they will acutally put the physical game in there again?
>First Account Linked To New Xbox Gets License
Oh... of course.
thats probably the last time that was a choice
there has never been a requirement for how they're supposed to deliver the game to the consumer. all they have to do is make sure the person who bought the console has access to the game bundled with it, and this is the easiest and cheapest way for them. there's nothing wrong with it and they're not breaking any laws. i don't know what any of you expect. all companies will be doing this in 5 years. it's the digital age. blame steam of killing off the pc physical market and starting all this bs.
>not getting a PC
>not getting the game on GOG
Does it at least come preinstalled or do you still need to wait for it to download?
>blame gabe for bad conditions on our locked down game boxes
You are to blame for buying consoles and supporting companies that make consoles.
>not getting the GOG torrent like a true cyberpunk pirate
> it's the digital age.
Is this the excuse people will use when faced with the fact that the USA has a shit internet infrastructure and lags behind the rest of the world for no reason but can still send israel 38 billion a year?
they still actively promote physical media. who gives a shit about how a game in a bundle is distributed. we have no control over that. meanwhile pcmr bums supported the loss of physical on pc. at least console players can still buy physical and even the console makers still release all major games physically. there's absolutely no evidence that will change any time soon.
If you are young and poor, sure. I'f you're old and have a job like me, you'd support the games you like so more are made.
Is the game even out?
>make a custom 2080 Ti
>only make 200
>give 77 of those 200 away in a contest
Whyyyyyy
PC is not Steam. You are not supporting a company that's actively working against you by buying a PC. You are supporting that when you buy a console.
Nope, just 32 and ain't paying for shit.
I don't get the problem. You still end up with the game on your account like you would with using the code.
That's not what's happening here
It's about ethics in consumer rights
Lol cuck
>support the games you like so more are made
So, unrelated to the thread then?
Having your game linked to your Microsoft account is pretty shit when compared to having your game on GOG.
>got the game on GOG
>download the backup installer and put it on a few flash drives
>put it on your external HDD
>burn it on bluerays
>burn it on DVDs
>archive it, split it and put it on floppy discs if that is what you fancy
how else are you supposed to get games on pc if its not mainly through steam? you could pirate it but you'd lose live updates. at least on a console you can buy a console and all the games used but still get updates whilst not giving a penny to the console companies. pc gaming is the ultimate cuckold because you can't even resell the digital copies, which is literally the only way games are accessible on pc.
and speaking of physical media on console, you also get the nice limited edition bundles of games with steel cases, action figures and shit. on pc you get jack shit.
it is the digital age. you have to expect this. at least on console you aren't some cuckold loser locked into digital for all games because of no physical games. either way you look at it on pc you're even more constrained by US shitty internet than any console player.
>you lose this thing no one cares about
>but you gain the ability to pay even more for toys!
>advocates buying "pre-owned"
>calls others cucks
Your world-view is retarded and i don't want to begin to understand you degenerates
