Just an example: for First Light on PS5, a download is required to play the game, as only the first mission is on disc. And for those of specific PS5 consoles (listed in the link I will provide) one needs to activate the game to play in the first place. These information can be found here: www.doesitplay.org/game/…/PS5 Pro?region=PEGI&ver…

Without laws enforcing this, and just bringing awareness to consumers, will continue destroying games.

I don’t have a PS5, and I only play on PC, so every game requires a download to play it. But I do think that if this criteria matters to other folks and this site still doesn’t cover the part that matters to me, it’s demonstrative of all the ways that studios have compromised the products they sold to us.

  I’m also on PC only. I just mentioned that above that even for games on disc its problematic and was just an example. At least they cover everything for console players.
