Technical Breakdown

The recently announced Silent Hill 2 remake has stirred controversy regarding its lack of physical pre-order bonuses. This omission departs from established industry practices, where exclusive content is often used to incentivize early purchases. Technically, this decision may streamline the development process by eliminating the need to create and distribute physical bonus materials. However, it also raises questions about the value proposition for physical purchasers, who may feel they are receiving a lesser experience compared to those who purchase digitally.
