    I had to hover over the MAC OS version to see it say “MAC download.”

    Point is PS4 gets a disc/box/box art and costs the same price as PC/MAC. How is that right? “Because you need a disc for PS4” ok. Then make it even across the board and give PC and MAC a disc and box/box art.

    I know giving a lower price would be “unfair” for PS4 if it was cheaper for PC. So again, just give everyone a disc and box art.

    I’m not angry. Just don’t see why they are cutting corners and creating an uneven pricing “playing field.”
    TBH it costs them about $0.17 to make the physical disc. Basically it just equates in theory to a smaller download but then that's only in theory as day 1 usually has a patch and PS4's at least from my experience have a throttled download speed due to PSN. I can download and install a 50GB game on my PC in about 20 minutes. A game half that size takes around 4-8 hours on PS4.

    It's not even a smaller download on PC, since the physical discs have only ever contained an installer. There's no actual game data.
