I think there are lot of factors connected to retirement decisions that we common people arent fully aware of. The way both Rohit and Virat have remained silent about their retirement, and especially the way Rohit behaves- 'Main kahin nahi jaane wala hoon'-makes you wonder. I believe announcing retirement could affect influencers like them financially. Im just speculating, but there might be pressure from sponsors and brands to delay any public announcement, even if they are planning to retire. Retirement could impact their current and future deals, many of which are signed on yearly or 3–5-year contracts. Once a player retires, businesses might not see them as valuable as before, which could be a concern for brands. Their face is a brand in itself, and retirement simply push them out of the limelight. So, not disclosing it has a lot of advantages-but as things unfolded, it ended up damaging their image even more i think.

There needs to be no meme war when the whole nation is nothing but a meme:-

Idk maybe. Try grey market shops. If you fan and looking forward to the game then just buy the game digitally.

this doesn’t work anymore after the patch apparently

Will it be available for purchase anytime soon or should I go ahead with the digital version? I am a big fan of the Doom series, I have the physical edition of Doom, Doom Eternal and Doom Slayers Collection. Thought it would be nice to have a physical copy of Doom TDA too And it would be easier to lend the disc to someone who wants to play.
