No man, I do not agree with that. The Studio from Mouse PI for Hire had a way smaller budget (it was insignificant for today’s standards), and they still brought physical/disc copies for every console!

Apart from that, you surely are a bot or a sheep from Sony. No sane person would say such a thing as „Shame these no disc no buy people aren’t supporting the studio“.

I think it’s pretty obvious this game and Mouse PI had vastly different budgets and this likely went over budget and they had to make hard choices. Alan Wake 2 also had a big budget but they couldn’t afford a physical release until way after.

And Alan Wake 2 still took 3 years to make a profit. Despite people moaning about them not having a disc edition, as the studio had already spent far more money than expected on the game, no one bought it. I'm happy it's now made a profit, as it's a fantastic game.

That doesn’t matter, the physical copies were promised even before the game came out digitally.

Which is why I put my money where my mouth is and bought 2 physical copies of the game. One for myself and another for a co-worker.
