A comment from @GamAbood1 suggested the move was coming a little too late, claiming “99% of whoever was interested has already played it,” without specifying how. However, they admitted that it “would be cool if you offered physical versions though”.

NieR: Automata is a sequel to NieR, another title that spun off the Drakengard series. It tells the story of Androids 2B, 9S, and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines. The game enjoys a Very Positive review on Steam.
