The last five games I've purchased have been digital games because there weren't physical versions. I'm not suggesting that those smaller games warrant a physical release but these stats of physical v digital sales will always favour digital based on pure availability.
Excellent review of a game I've never heard of - straight on the list. Hadn't heard of GRIS either but it's currently €2.99 so was an easy sell. Reviews like these really make this site great.
Ubisoft have primed people to not buy their games upon release as they'll deeply discount them within months. I'm interested in buying the game but I've been burned so many times by Black Friday or Christmas sales when the games price drops upto 50% (and it's received multiple patches). Why would anyone clued in bother buying upon release now?
Slightly tone-deaf and pointless to release a physical version that's not a physical version. Total waste of plastic.
Physical copy lovers won't buy it with no disc.
Digital copy lovers will wait for a sale.
Similar to Alan Wake 2, I'll wait (assuming it's good).
I'll definitely pick it up but I've a few games that I'm working through now that by the time I get to it, there'll probably have been a price drop so gonna hold out til it's a little cheaper rather than buy it at full whack and have it collect dust for a few months.

@ShadowRJ Fingers crossed. Have been resolutely holding off picking it up in a sale since in the hopes of that physical edition.

Minor correction, the tour begins in Ireland, not in the UK.

Huge shame. Playing this at the moment and really enjoying it. Really great game with a nice challenge.

Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection
Was so lucky to get the 30th Anniversary Bundle. Think we only got 30 in Ireland and somehow I got one.

Re: Pacific Drive (PS5) - The Car Is the Reasonably Priced Star of Deep, Dense Survival Game
Really intrigued by this game but might hold out for a 60fps mode (if there is one planned).
Re: Brock Lesnar, Vince McMahon Removed from WWE 22K24 Final Roster
I'd say Lesnar will still be in there but is not being publicised at all by 2K/WWE.
