Honestly, if these versions have the complete up-to-date game printed on them that do not require servers to validate or update in order for me to play the game in the future, I do see the value in this. Doom the Dark Ages 85 megabytes news the other day was harrowing. Physical media hasn't had the full game on it for a lot of games for quite a while now. If your disc doesn't have the full game on it, then I don't believe you own a physical copy of the game.

exactly! it's a way to own a complete copy on disc, independent from the servers. I know there are other companies offering that specific thing, but more players in the space is a good thing imo

They invented a collectors edition? Much innovative.
