New games without instruction manuals

I mean, I'm all for that granola head, hug a tree hippie crap, but at least give me a stupid manual with my game.
The trashcan by the mailbox in my community is overflowing with everyone's junk mail every day, but no manual for a $60 game.. end rant.

Couldn't agree more. Seems kinda ridiculous to me. Heck, even a simple controls explanation would be helpful. I know a good number of games these days have a fairly good tutorial type section at the beginning, but it gets kinda cumbersome to check the digital manual if you forget something mid-game.

Yeah.. Link Between Worlds and Etrian Odyssey IV didn't have a manual... My Tales of the Abyss does though, and is my only 3DS game that has a manual.
Makes me sad :(

Tales of the Abyss is a 2011 game, the other games are all 2013 and onward, so yeah, that probably has something to do with it.
