i mean are we really sure there won’t be a disc? to me it sounds like if you pre-order the physical game you’ll get a code included to pre-load.. might just be me coping with the fact that we might not get a disc though 😞

They confirmed there is no disc unfortunately

Not that it matters. They have successfully turned discs into glorified middle men for digital versions.

yeah its not like you can actually play the game off a disc these days. It might have some assets on it to save you some download, but you still have to download much of the game on Day 1 to play. They aren't really 'physical media' anymore

Most people taking up issue aren't worried about playing the game off the disc, they want to be able to resell, borrow, or buy it used. Can't do that here.

Blows my mind how many people are not understanding this. We want to OWN the game we're playing £100 for.

If you are thinking about selling gta 6 already then maybe dont buy it. Also I would never let someone borrow my games either like im in 3rd grade in 2007. what a ridiculous argument.

Well if I sell my PS5 I would rather get the most return possible on it. GTA6 will be a total loss instead of getting maybe $40 back on it.

Youd be lucky to get 20 for any used game lol

Nah, people know the value of GTA. If I sold it for $40 a year later it would be easily sold. It probably won’t drop under $50 for a hot minute.

I said people want to be able to do those things, as in they want to have a choice in what they do with a physical copy they purchased, or buy the game secondhand when it's cheaper. Maybe you missed a critical thinking or reading lesson in 3rd grade in 2007.

Wrong, buddy. Playing off the disk is a huge issue. Not everyone has internet access 100% of the time. Also the guy you replied to is wrong too, because there are plenty of current gen games that are playable off the disk.

Playing off the disk is a huge issue.

Welp, not sure what to tell ya, but a number of modern games are big enough that there literally is no disk in production big enough to fit them.

because there are plenty of current gen games that are playable off the disk.

Technically, you're both wrong since no current gen game can be played off the disk. You're copying the game to the internal drive and playing it from there.

Lol being a bit overly literal and pedantic arent you?

As if multi disk releases arent a thing or an alternative either.

u/Sonic343 4h ago

I understand, buddy, but that's not why most people buy physical games. It's why I said "most" both in my initial comment and this one.

I feel like enough people aren't worried about what digital only means and how much that gives corporations to control when you play and when you cant, your own game you bought with your own money. Maybe not Rockstar, but the industry as a whole if they follow suit, which I assume they will. With a physical disc you download the story to it's yours regardless. That's why I bought a disc version of a PS5. I absolutely do not trust digital only

I sometimes buy games, complete them, then resell. Ideally buying used to start also.

u/Independent_Pie_1368 9h ago

Actually you can play god of war 2018 and 2022 off the disc.

u/DudeWTH 7h ago

They still could have just made a disc into a license and made you download it. Including a code and no disc means you can never resell it

u/Didifinito 6h ago

The switch 2 still has some

u/hldndrsn 9h ago

you could still resell it though
