"Another useless disk like Forza Horizon 5": Gaming community reacts to Redfall's wrong physical edition description

sportskeeda.com:

Redfall's release is a few months away, but Arkane's upcoming title has once again run into rough weather. While there hasn't been any further delay in development, the latest crisis is a result of Bethesda's decision to the physical edition of the game.

Earlier reports appeared last night that the game's physical edition would not be coming with a disk. Instead, it will contain digital codes that must be retained online. As the news got out, many gaming community members took to social media to express their disappointment.

Thankfully, Arkane noticed the error in the description of Redfall's physical edition. The developers clarified that the physical edition would come with a disk, much to the community's relief.

In an ideal world, Redfall should have already been available to gamers, but delays happened and pushed the release back to 2023. While fans have been happy with the trailers and teasers for now, some management decisions haven't gone down well.

The latest issue might have been resolved thanks to prompt work from Arkane Studios. But it goes on to be another instance of negative news surrounding the hotly-anticipated title. Moreover, the error wasn't rectified before the community gave a piece of their mind on social media. Some users even felt that a disk with a code doesn't meet the conditions for a "play anywhere" title.

Twitter user @PeteyMcPickle felt that the decision might have been taken because Xbox doesn't have faith in its own title. Hence, the disk was being avoided (which seemed so back then) to save costs and improve the possible profits.

@HairyBizRat explained why games like Redfall need a physical edition in the first place. Having the disk allows players to access their game despite server issues.
