All I wanted from a physical edition was a printed manual. For me its the difference between standing outside a shop to buy it day one or maybe picking it up in a sale at some point down the road (I realise thats a weird hill to die on but i also preferred going to a video rental shop and coming back with a stack of tapes over just flicking through Netflix. I get it, im old and weird)
We've reached a point now though where, like vinyl records kids, kids just dont know they existed in the first place. There's another thread on steam like this one with someone asking for a BG3 manual, and the first reply is "Manual? Do you mean a tutorial?"
