Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Developed for PC Steam.

As all recent PC retail games released by Bethesda come with mandatory online Steam activation, this game will be no different. Once activated the physical disc copy becomes absolutely worthless and only serves as a backup copy. The best option is the PS4/X1 console versions, you can share them with friends/family, trade them with friends/family or resell the game. The choice is yours to make.

Example.

I don't know why, but New Order's the whole future-Wolfenstein thing didn't do much for me. Old blood seems much more appealing, and hopfully the price will be too. Suppose I could wait for a boxed set with both New Order and Old Blood, but that probably won't happen.

Call me old fashioned, but I enjoy owning the physical copy of the game. When I can, I always spend a couple extra dollars on a hard copy so I have the peace of mind that it can never be taken away; I can replay the game any time in the future and I don't have to worry about an online store going down or my hard drive crashing and losing the only digital copy I had.

My last EB experience: went to get a copy of Dead Island so I could play it at a LAN party. Take it to the counter and get handed an open box. I mentioned this to the cashier yokel, who tells me this is what they do for all PC games, so they can keep the discs behind the counter "but don't worry, it will install fine, nobody's used the key." Get to party, install game, *CD key in use*.

Call EB, "I dunno what's wrong, once you've opened it you can't return it though." Yeah, opened the sticker that fucker put on the box he already opened.

Emailed Steam, got told to send them a copy of my bill, 24 hours later they email me a new CD Key.

Fuck EB Games. Fuck buying games retail.

Fuck buying games retail ...ehh no

Fuck buying games on spyware steam ..YES

Is that you, Origin?

Wow! I'm amazed they'd do that. Kudos to them.

Yes, I was pretty impressed too. One of those "why didn't I do that in the first place?" moments. Ah, now I remember, I didn't want to sit at the party downloading the game. We played Team Fortress 2 instead...

Retail?

Oh right, it's that place where some slack-jawed teenage yokel tells you he can't sell you the game because you didn't preorder it. I think we used to get games there in like 2002 or so.

Had that exact experience (complete with giggling) at a local EB, and have never been back. Literally a waist high stack, but none for sale. Fuck those guys.
