That's pretty scammy, but I think way worse is the trend of games being shut down, so that a game you paid money for literally cannot be played by anyone ever again.

What is it about physical media that appeals to you?
Is it a vibe thing, or a function thing?

By that logic the real ubermensch is a mole rat or a cockroach.

Meanwhile my extremely ugly orc has yet to complete the first main quest, BUT he has traveled to the 4 corners of the land beating the crap out of everything with his bare fists.
This game is special.
