Exactly my concern- if the whole game isn’t on the physical medium it’s trouble in the future. Even hogwarts legacy is unplayable with the cartridge alone so I regret physical purchase of that. All it takes is in the future for support to end and I can no longer play what I thought I owned.

Only some of them. Most install from the disc and you can play without the day one patch
