    Yes, but understand the exchange you’re having:

    “Why sell a physical box if it contains no game? There’s no benefit to buying it!”

    “No benefit? Buying physical means I own it!”

    Does it not seem like you’re ignoring the actual issue being discussed?

      No, they’re saying that what is being sold here is being falsely advertized as a physical copy of the game when it is not.

      “Why sell a physical box if it contains no game?” Is about this “physical edition” that isn’t.

      “Buying physical means I own it” is about actual physical editions that aren’t lies.

        You’ve missed the point. The point was not that it was a fake physical box (we all get that), but rather why sell a fake physical box.

      Maybe I misunderstood your point, but I think the original comment was saying they like buying physical, transferable copies of games (ie. disks) because of the points they mentioned. The Starfield physical copy is pointless because you’re not getting a transferable copy, you’ll just get a single use code (which is the same as buying digital). The only reason people would want the Starfield physical copy is to have an item on their shelf.
