Why people still buy physical game discs

This meme is a photograph of the official PlayStation 4 Blu-ray disc for the Mature-rated hack-and-slash game *Onechanbara Chaos*. The disc art features a revealingly posed, fanservice-heavy female character from the game against a bright pink background, alongside standard branding for the game, publisher Xseed Games, ESRB, Blu-ray, and PS4. The image is used as a comedic answer to the question of why people still purchase physical video game discs, implying that the unique, often provocative or appealing physical artwork included with physical copies is a key benefit that digital game purchases do not offer.

Origin notes

This image was shared as a meme on Reddit, under the original title 'Someone asked why you still buy game disks'. It uses unedited official disc art from the North American PS4 release of Onechanbara Chaos, first published by Xseed Games in 2016, to make a lighthearted joke about the advantages of physical video game media over digital downloads.
