The reason I ask this is that, when you buy physical media for most of today's games, there's patches that you have to download, there's inevitable DLC, updates, etc. This leaves me wondering, what are you actually GETTING on that physical media when you end up have to download so many things? If you don't have internet access, what does that physical item really give you? If you're downloading everything anyway, why not just buy the digital version of the game? And with most games on physical media nowadays, you don't even get the luxury of things like instruction manuals anymore.
I feel like with physical games on older systems (PS2 era and everything that came before it), you get a COMPLETE game on your physical media. Plus, a nice instruction manual. With modern consoles, that no longer seems to be the case.
I see people on youtube like Radical Reggie who buy only physical, and while I understand WHY he does it, I feel like gamers like him are kind of getting ripped off as hardly anyone gives you a COMPLETE game on physical media these days
