My wife got me a copy of Mass effect Andromeda as a gift once. She bought the physical copy (or so she thought) since that makes a better gift. When I opened the case, there was literally nothing in there but a code for EA Origin on a sticker.

Ea games are awful for this. I bought sims 4 when it first came out and had the same issue. It's so cool that I can't own games even if I try to buy the physical copy. I'm just glad that other companies haven't been doing digital only hard copies.

They literally sold you plastic trash that could have been a man email 🤦‍♂️

I mean, do you even have a bluray drive on your PC? That's why they do it, I remember having the option to buy San Andreas on one dvd or 8 cds or something, precisely because people don't often replace their drives.

I haven't had a disc drive of any sort on my PC for over a decade

They can sell codes in stores all they want. But.... print them on a nice greeting card or something instead of using about 100g of ABS plastic?
