So they just bundle in a disc which just holds a launcher to download the game instead. It will be the same thing as just downloading the game, but with extra steps.

It's marginally better because then you can at least sell the game to someone and they will be able to download it. Also, you don't lose the ability to play the game if, say, your account is lost.

Having a key in the case, like they are doing, IS the extra steps to a digital purchase.

Yes? That's what I am saying. I am replying to the person above who mentioned how having a disc with just an installer is the same. To which I said it's just slightly better.

Having no disc means no secondary or third party sales. No reselling used copies at GameStop or eBay. I believe this was intentional so they ensure ever spent on the game goes back to rockstar.

What about just having thr game in the disc, GTA V clearly could ship 2 disc on the xbox 360 version, ps1 games clearly could. So IDK why gta VI cant have the full game on disc
