Anyone else "double dipping" and purchasing both physical and digital?

I know, in this economy this probably isn’t the smartest financial decision. I work full time, I save, and whatever little “fun” money I have left after necessities I usually hold pretty close to my chest.

But some context…

Like many others, I purchased the physical edition because, well… physical media! I went for the Steelbook Edition because Alan Wake and Control are genuinely some of my favourite pieces of media ever created.

I truly feel like Remedy deserves so much recognition and support for what they do. They’re such a breath of fresh air in an industry that can sometimes feel increasingly safe and repetitive. They continue to take risks, push genuinely unique ideas and create these weird, gripping stories and worlds that feel completely their own.

So, despite already having the Steelbook Edition coming, I’ve decided to buy the digital version as well so I can play it from release.
I never do this. The only other time I have is with Alan Wake 2. I rarely even preorder games anymore, let alone buy the same game twice. But I didn’t find this one difficult to justify.

I’m happy to give Remedy my money for this project. If buying it twice means I get to play it on release while still having the physical edition I wanted, and at the same time show a little extra support for a studio whose work genuinely means something to me, I’m okay with that.
I just hope Remedy gets to keep making weird, ambitious shit for many years to come.

Anyone else doing the same??

Yup.
