For 666$, no physical game copy for the PC ?
I always find shitty when multiplatform deluxe limited editions are inferior on PC than on console, but here it's even worse: Doom 2 is THE PC game.
Most PCs don't even have a disc drive anymore. And physical is way inferior to digital. Fuck swapping discs.
A USB drive could easily be included.
For that much money it should be a custom one shaped like a BFG or something!
Some old floppy disks like the OG version would be a nice novelty, even if noone used them. EvE online did a thing like that for its 20th birthday box. They included a floppy disk with some old game data on it (I think it was part of an ARG, but I just had fun trying to read the data)
For $666 they could afford to ship a SD Card and an USB card reader.
Let's not act like anybody on PC cares about discs anymore. Besides, there are a million ways you can play Doom at this point.
The point was trying to make is that PC is often a second rate citizen in these collectors editions.
My guess is that if you're customer of these editions, you want a "beautiful" object full of goodies, and, as a collector item, you won't open them or use them anyway.
I guess this is the reason they started to make them without a version of game included these last few years.
could have put it on a usb drive for that much
