<title>If it makes you feel better... (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are standoffish with her, and work for her for a short time before going off on your own. That said, she blows up buildings and kidnaps people to get what she wants.</p>
<p>And, the businesses in this universe appear to be more like monarchies, run by ruling families, even with marriage alliances. So it's either batshit insane totalitarian oligarchy or luddite communism, it seems. The middle ground people seem to be the ones closest to Faith.</p>
<p>They're setting up a franchise with this one, clearly, but I much preferred the universe in the last story. This one doesn't make as much sense.</p>
<p>The 1984 esque first game made some sense. The government was democratically chosen to act the way it acted, and normal people had good lives because of it, though their freedom was limited. It's a tradeoff that makes sense to some people, and it's technically conceivable.</p>
<p>The new one went the other way, with what is essentially a slavery system, as far as I can tell. People work for businesses, are put in a caste, and they cannot stop working for the businesses. They live well, have leisure and stuff, but they're forced to work for whoever they work for. Government does not seem to exist, since private companies jail people and control everything. And it's not like debtor's prison, where the government jails people for breach of contract or something, it's just straight up being jailed by the business.</p>
<p>I don't understand.</p>

<title>Don&#039;t sell them at all, if that&#039;s the case (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There's no point in buying it physical if you're going to have to download it. &quot;Oh, sometimes it's cheaper than buying digital&quot;. Well, in those cases, the problem is pretty obvious, isn't it?</p>

<title>Funny story... (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><blockquote><p>A guy at work bought a boxed copy of the PC version from the company store. Guess what was inside?</p>
<p>Not only was there no disc (just a key to redeem on origin), but the case didn't even have grooves to fit a disc. It was <em>literally</em> a worthless piece of plastic.</p>
</blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><p><br />
What exactly would be in it? The game is way too big to fit on a DVD, and PCs don't usually have Bluray drives.</p>
</blockquote><p>Granted, they're not standard, but any site that lets you build one (Dell, HP, etc.) has it as an option.</p>
<p>Like, if you really want a to put out a physical SKU for retailers, just print those cards like XBL/PS+ use. It has to be cheaper then a useless case.</p>

<title>(Sigh)...What A Cluster. (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>I'm looking online, and it looks like they're selling nearly identical copies of this collector's edition--some with the game, and some without. Why would EA have something like this? Wouldn't it make sense(like <em>anything's</em> making sense right now) to include the game with every CE? Isn't that the point?</p>
</blockquote><p>It's for people who'd rather have a digital copy of the game but still want the CE. I am in full support of that.</p>
