Re: Microsoft Short Changes Indiana Jones PS5 by Only Putting 20GB on the Blu-ray

@BAMozzy You keep repeating that "it's a license" but the files to install the game ARE in the disk, as I said you don't need to connect to the internet to install and/or play. You haven't read games directly from the disc since the PS2, but you still have all the files to install and run the games in the discs.
And no, it's not just older games and remasters, here is a list of the last few games I bought and install with no need for internet:
Dragon Age Veilgard
Life is Strange Double Exposure
Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza
First Berserker Khazan
KC2
Monster Hunter Wilds (it installs even though you do need internet to play it).

Now I do understand that you need to install some patches for updates, and bug fixes, but most games do have a playable 1.0 version in their discs.
The only company that you really see going further away from this is Ubisoft, with their ***** "You don't own your games" take, and now it seems MS is doing the same even though you can fit the games easily into the discs, but MS has been pushing digital for awhile now as well.

@BAMozzy I have around 43 games that I can install and play without being connected to the internet (I test every single one).
So far only Jedi Survivor required internet to install.

Edit: I never understood why people defend vigorously the digital only part (not saying you do @BAMozzy) when we should always get the 2 versions, physical with the game or installer on the disc and digital for whomever wants it and that's it.

People can also check the doesitplay website, they have more than 2000 entries for games to show which can be played straight from the disc without downloads and the ones that cannot.

@ATaco People datamined the monsters. For example Lagi and another monster were supposed to be part of the main game were pushed to the free updates. If you google for MonHun Wilds leaked monster list or something you'll find all the info. I won't post it here because there are people that like to be surprised with the updates.
