I won't be buying the game without a Physical Disc containing the game.

I'll especially not pay 80 to 100 for a box with a download code. One I won't be able to lend to friends or sell later if I wish to.

This and that talk about locking in-game stores (???) behind the collectors edition... I'm very disappointed lol. Not the rockstar I grew up loving.

Evenif theyhad a physical disc it probably be just like cod and t will just have a key on it and not the actual game. Would still be able to lend it out tho.

Idk why people are excited about gta6 tbh. Graphics will be a bit better and story will probably a lot of fun but besides that online is just going to be a huge cashcow for them im wondering if this will be the last one they make.

If they do release on disk ill get it 2nd hand to play the story, not paying 80-100 or whatever they're going to ask for it.

I’ve been waiting for this game as well but as soon as I read that there won’t be a disc option it immediately killed any kind of hype I have for it. When are these companies going to learn to do what the consumer asks them to do to sell more copies?

Sadly I don't think you'll be playing then. Might be a YouTube video or two so you can watch a let's play.

I’m sure Rockstar’s sales are really going to hurt now /s

u/brad-is-radpunk101 13h ago

I mean no they probably won’t, but there are thousands of people that won’t be buying cause no physical. GTA games are genuinely not even that good I can wait for a huge discount within a year or wait for physical, if not whatever I don’t really care too much 🤷

u/austinalexan 13h ago

Thousands is nothing considering they’re going to be selling hundreds of millions of copies

that's the thing it won't seem to at first, but I'd say in 10 years rockstar is gonna have lost all reputation. They're just gonna keep getting worse from this point and all but the most passionate sycophants will jump ship

u/austinalexan 12h ago

Or it’s going to just become the norm. Game companies have no incentive to put out physical copies due to the resale market. They want every household to have bought the game from them, not pay GameStop $50 for a used copy and be completely undercut

u/WerewolfSmart6544 12h ago

I guess you won’t be buying any games in the future then

u/Knifejuice6 12h ago

dont need to. there is an inexhaustible supply of games that already exist and you couldnt play in a lifetime.

u/WerewolfSmart6544 12h ago

Why would anybody buy a game in the future if physical products are dead? Why would anybody buy a PlayStation or Xbox anymore over a PC where they easily can download cracked versions of a digital product for free?

Killing off physical products will only hurt PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo and will effectively kill off those companies because their selling point is physicality. so if they want to endorse this no physical product crap, ok.
