Even disk-based games on newer consoles often don’t include the full game

That's pretty rare despite being constantly mentioned in this thread. I can think of a few that are strictly multiplayer games or the Master Chief Collection which is just a huge net installer disc.

Otherwise games still become gold and are playable start to finish off disc. Switch games on the other hand have quite a few that require a download.
