FFVII Revelation Director Insists S-E Had No Choice but to Require a Download to Play the Physical Disc Version

“no choice”

If only lies had consequences.

There were choices. They could do a play/install disc combo. If Sony didn’t allow that for some reason, they could easily split the game in two and put the two SKUs in the same case.

They just didn’t want to. It wasn’t a scenario where there were no options.

Space available on a bluray disk: 50GB max for a dual layer disk.

Game’s total size: 210GB.

The only other choice was to do what they used to do back in the day: Put it on 5 disks.
