    What had even been the point of buying the boxed copy?

    Some have historically come with art books or figurines or other tchotchkes. But less and less, as the focus has been on digital delivery.

      Oh sure, that was more of an echo of the feeling of being tricked than anything else. Those are usually special/collectors editions anyways, and there’s reasons beyond needing/wanting the data that you’d buy that.
