February 15, 2017 at 10:40 pmNo, I don’t. Don’t have an account anymore. Nothing against anyone who does, but I just always prefer to buy physical copies.

Without updates/dlc the contents on an average game disk night as well be a beta, it’s not like the old days. The desire to get physical copies so you can “own” the game is just an illusion now.
