This is something I don’t think should be legal under false advertising laws as well.
When fortnite was super popular, they would release “physical” releases of their cosmetics dlcs. We would have grandmas coming in wanting to get little timmy the game they wanted, and would choose the 40$ DLC thinking it was an actual game when in reality it was a plastic case with a download code in it. We would explain “hey btw just incase you didn’t know, this isn’t actually a game, its 40$ for some skins on a free to play game that they already have”
9/10 customers would be like “Wait what really? thats so shitty thank you for informing me” and would choose another game from the selection.
It’s blatant false advertising and super deceptive marketing tactics. A physical release should not be a code to use a license. It should be the actual game.
Wasn’t aware of physical case for Fortnite DLCs.
Proving it’s a scam by having hard cases. Usually codes are in paper card form, like PS Plus codes or stuff like that.
That is still better than no physical release at all as its at least transferrable, but yeah,the servers can be pulled and it made unobtainable if your console storage does.
Nowadays some physical media carries only a license on them, not even the media itself.
