2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

This means you can't pass the game around to your friends or sell it afterwards, which completely ruins the purpose of physical media imo. I mostly play PC these days so this doesn't affect me, but it's a disappointing direction for console games. At least they could've used an empty disc that has proof of ownership.

EDIT: Bethesda has confirmed that only the PC version won't include a disc. Physical versions of Xbox will include a disc. Whew.

I mean, sure, but the discussion isn't only about PCs, the question in the screenshot was about the series X. You can find pre-owned discs for consoles sold on gamestop, for example.

Ah, I get it now. I was so locked into PC gaming that I wasn't aware we are talking consoles.

Yeah, the argument gets a lot better on consoles, but I guess physical console games are a dying breed as well.
