Some of you already noticed that I am ready to buy some stuff just to be able to criticize it in my posts. In this case, after long procrastination, I went to the local electronics store and bought again some games just for today's post..
Today's topic is "Code in a box"...
I will not sugarcoat this from the beginning as I don't see any positive aspects of those releases. You are going to a store to buy a game, to just receive a piece of paper with few numbers and letters inside a plastic case...
Yes, there is a subtle warning on the case, but I can't imagine how many people will fall for it regardless and buy those games in believe there is a game card inside. Also, parents or grandparents buying games for their kids will not understand it either.
It's just a really ridiculous and unjustified garbage production! Why would I go to the store to buy an empty case when I can just download the game at home without wasting my time and energy? Final Fantasy IX for example is even 4€ cheaper in the Nintendo Store than what I paid in the store!
What is making me mad the most is, in Asia there is a physical release of both games! Since a while! This is what the people in Europe were also expecting. Instead, they released this piece of crap!
This is not me, a collector of physical games, ranting, but a gamer that just wants to point out how pointless this is! Another bad decision. Shame on you @squareenix!
Maybe I am missing something. Please let me know if you see a reason why those releases are a thing at all.
What is your opinion about codes in a box?
