    new western game mechanic: you buy a physical copy, then when you open the case, there's a code. you enter the code on a website, and you have a 75% chance of getting the game you paid for, but also a 25% chance to get nothing. the game is nonrefundable as the code that was in the box has already been used by you.

      You joke about it, but many physical game boxes don’t have discs in them anymore, in favor of redemption codes. Those codes have a fairly high chance of not working, forcing you to go through endless customer service help options to get the game you paid for simply added to your account.
