But… the physical copy of CP77 was just a box with some merch telling us to go download it from GOG.
CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit

to be fair you then put that installer on an usb and it’s physical. I’d rather a DRM free digital game in a box than the code with DRM

I mean, releasing something physical means it has to be done. Remember what state Cyberpunk 2077 was in on release?

Hey, it’s been awhile, it’s gotta be done by now!
Did they finally add all the features they advertised?

They used the No Man’s Sky strategy: release trash, polish it a bit, then get praised for improving while the game is still nowhere near what was promised.

No… They built on what they managed to make instead. Frankly, a more manageable solution

That’s not going to mean shit when it downloads a 100GB day one patch.

It is though. That’s the entire point

Digital for things you consume. Physical for things you love.

Or at least a drm free installer.
I guess I’ll stock up on gog installers for games I own on Steam if Steam ever becomes the villain.

I would encourage you to support GoG before you have to rely on them, otherwise if everyone does like you they may not be able to sustain their business.
It’s a bit akin to waiting for a crash before putting your seatbelt on.

Virtue signaling isn’t going to get them anywhere if it’s not a polished experience.

And here’s an opinion by a game publisher NOT invested in getting haggled by a monopolist.

I cannot wait to see the performance on basically a cell phone processor…

Is there something wrong with cellphone processors?

They are not very powerful, and cyberpunk is a pretty beefy game.

I don’t get why they don’t just have like, install cards with cheaper but slower storage on them for smaller game devs or extra large games that require installation to the system first before it can run. Seems like the in-between of key cards and full speed game cards which still might be faster than downloads and also helps game preservation by having the game actually on the card.

Because that would be good for the consumer. They make more money on digital only, you don’t actually own the product, and you can’t resell it.
It’s a corporation’s wet dream.

The game-key cards can actually be borrowed or resold, it just doesn't have the game itself on it.

I mean… Cyberpunk needs to be on a card. Otherwise how would you slot it into your neck?
