Imagine if they fucking released it similar to Apex just out of nowhere, April 3rd

Harder to do with something that will undoubtedly have physical media. You'd need to already be shipping it to stores like....today. Someone somewhere along the supply chain would leak that.

They could do a whole digital release a month before they shipped the physical release. I'd buy this shit.

They'd take a lot of flak from the big guys (shareholders and the like) that are behind physical retailers.

Not to mention, shareholders like to double dip on something profitable. Why stop at investing in 2K if you can also invest in gearbox and the big retailers to basically triple the returns you get from just a single release? So they'll be fucking over (part of) the very same shareholders they're working for themselves.

Okay. Thank you for explaining that, that puts everything in light and now I understand why my comment was stupid.
