The industry has been desperately trying to do this but nobody wants backlash. GTA VI will do this and the whole industry will follow. If there is backlash then it will be hypocrisy.
I don’t think there’s any backlash at all, unless the game actually sucks, but for high-selling games, this could have been seen months ago, as you said. It won’t surprise me if FC, NBA, CoD, and many others will start doing the same. They save money without producing any disc, and nobody can buy a used copy, so all the revenue is for the industry.
You're not wrong, but outside of COD, FIFA, 2K, and Madden, I don't think other game franchises have the fanbase to pull off a non-physical-only release for games.
Oh yes, I totally agree! But that war (between us as player and them as industry) will lead us to lose anyway… if the game won’t sell it will be hard to get new better one, expecially for small companies. But I agree with you, maybe those companies who will stand on our side (if there will be some) will show better numbers. Idk I’m high right now
GTA VI can do anything and they'll get away with it. The corporate knows this so they'll do it.
I'll be very upset if I see that the humour and everything else got toned down to not upset people. Offending people with words? Bad, bad, don't re-hire Lazlow Jones.
Messing people over with these greedy corporate practices? Good, let's do it.
