Crimson Desert is expected to be released on March 20, but some regular players have already managed to get the discs. However, the situation with Resident Evil Requiem did not repeat itself and spoilers did not appear online — the developers implemented a protection system.
The launch of the physical version of the game is limited: access will only be opened on the day of release. Bypassing this by changing the date will not work, since you need to connect to the network for the first launch.
This decision by the authors of Crimson Desert helped prevent the leak, but it causes some concern among some players. There is a risk that not everyone will have access to the Internet on the day of release and they will not be able to turn on the game.
Participants in the discussion compare such a disc with the Nintendo Game Key-card system.
