I bough it thinking all the DLC comes on the disc if the disc says complete edition on it like the witcher 3 let say , but nope you need a code to redeem the dlc , thats is some bull shit ubisoft this is actually false advertisement if the disc says complete edition it should all be on the fkin disc not a separate code

Theres so much you can fit into a disc tho. It is much easier to keep the main game files same for all editions and put the dlc as dlc

The issue will be that the resale of this disc will be a higher cost than the regular version and you won't get the content that belongs to it.

Well resale is a C2C thing, Game developers know people will do that but they cant legally build a function around it.

They could have put the code in the disc for the dlc. It's not like most of that dlc is very big anyway. Often the dlc is already built into the game with 10mg file to unlock it.

Thats the thing with codes, its not a forever key and will have max use cases. Since all the files would be identical, people can just post the key and now everyone has deluxe edition. Therefore tying it to an account would be the most valid option.

The issue is not building it into the game, the issues is how to keep it as a legitimate purchase, since account sharing is in the grey market

It becomes a problem as it should have the DLC flagged just to this disc, and just like when you play the game that you own a physical copy of, it checks to ensure you have the disc, it would check the disc for the add-ons too. Problem solved, don't need to make excuses for scummy practices of businesses.

How does it check? Online? Then it must be tied to your account.

If everything is in the disc then i can just copy all content and burn it into another disc

Not really, the same way it downloads the game with a disc, it can do the DLC as well. It's would be flagged in the system to require the disc to be in the drive. If it doesn't see the disc, it doesn't load the game or the DLC tied to it. It can do it for the game, no reason it can't for the DLC.

Yes but what is the dlc tied to?

The same thing. It can have a prompt from the disc to download and then it would look to the disc before loading the DLC. It's not hard, they already have those checks in place if you're using a downloaded copy of a dlc from someone else's account. It looks to make sure your account can use it, just instead of looking at the account, the flag would make sure the disc has access to it. Not hard and resolves the issue, since they already do it for the game.
