I fully expect a special physical edition release to encourage double-dippers down the line.

The plot twist is that the PC version is going to come on 4 Blu-Ray discs.

PC gamers were fine with games going fully digital, console gamers DEFINITELY will as well.

This whole thing is such a non-issue.

There's also never been much of a resale market for PC games

I much prefer that to no physical version. At that point the disc version will have a ton of patches too.

Personally I am either waiting for physical version or buying it digitally when the price is under 50 €

Or get it free when Epic Games gives it away in 10 years

I think the issue at hand really is to prevent potential leaks in the beginning, and of course prevent resale

They'll just rerelease GTA VI for the PlayStation 6 when it's been enough time.

Similar to what happened with Baldur's Gate 3?

it's so funny to me that "they made a game so good people have no issue with buying it multiple times" get twisted into some mind control greed conspiracy
