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.

It's a 125gb game, what kind of disk were you expecting it to ship on?

Multiple install disks? That I can still install in my basement without an internet connection many years later like we did with games on floppy disks?

Just 26 DVDs or a mere 178 CD-ROMs
