由IO Interactive開發的《007：初露鋒芒》現已正式發售，而實體版的「注水」操作卻引發玩家強烈不滿。據玩家實測，實體光盤僅包含45.69GB數據，而首日補丁高達50.84GB。這意味著光盤無法獨立運行，玩家必須聯網下載超過本體大小的補丁才能解鎖完整內容。
玩家發現，實體盤並未收錄完整遊戲數據，大量核心內容被鎖定在首日補丁中。這種「先壓盤、後修補」的模式被指扭曲了實體遊戲的意義——光盤不再是「時間膠囊」，而是必須依賴網路的空殼。相比之下，索尼第一方大作通常光盤內即含完整可玩版本，此舉被玩家視為對實體收藏者的欺騙。
The day-one patched version of #007Firstlight is 50.84 GB. The unpatched version was 45.69 GB. What does this mean? That the entire game was actually on the disc, but @IOInteractive intentionally locked it. They're not the first to use this kind of practice, which distorts physical versions. Why? To avoid spoilers? Don't make me laugh: All PS Studios games, like Uncharted, The Last of Us, and God of War, were complete on the discs, and their storylines were just as important! Some say it's because the game went gold only a few days before release: false argument, because this isn't new! Developers fix and optimize their games at the end of development; they don't finish levels! And besides, as you know, patches continue long after a game's release. Often for years! This practice of locking games is simply an insult to all lovers of physical media. What we want are physical works that make their mark on video game history, time capsules. Not empty shells! Physical game enthusiasts are patient people. Since we keep hearing that "physical games don't mean much anymore," why not postpone the release of boxed games and offer REAL PHYSICAL GAMES? Have we been lied to, and are publishers simply determined not to miss out on sales at launch? Gentlemen of the entertainment industry: be consistent!
有觀點辯護稱首日補丁是行業常態，旨在修復壓盤後的Bug。但反對聲音指出：優化不應等於鎖住完整內容。高達50GB的強制下載，本質上是為了趕上發售窗口而將未完成版本提前壓盤，嚴重損害了玩家「即買即玩」和「離線保存」的權益。
