[EDIT: CONFIRMED FALSE] Starfield physical edition won't include physical discs.
This means you can't pass the game around to your friends or sell it afterwards, which completely ruins the purpose of physical media imo. I mostly play PC these days so this doesn't affect me, but it's a disappointing direction for console games. At least they could've used an empty disc that has proof of ownership.
EDIT: Bethesda has confirmed that only the PC version won't include a disc. Physical versions of Xbox will include a disc. Whew.

this is why i dont spend money on games anymore. the network of pirates will always be stronger than steam's network of business men.
Idk, feels more comfy if the Games just work on the Steam Deck or Linux PC without needing to tinker.
i find developers/publishers are most likely to sacrifice your comfort first and foremost, and many of the games ive pirated have run worse for me or my friends when run legally. but i must admit i enjoyed the process of tinkering with windows on my steam deck, and the piracy workflow for steamOS is seamful.
It's more a combo of "Gabe doesn't care" and "Steam makes it really easy to add pirated games to your list"
