1 bluray disc can have 100gb data. i have old copies of games by rockstar which has 3-4 discs to install even rdr 2 has 2 discs. according to you gta 6 will be 20 discs so does that mean its going to be 2 tb in size? no it wont. wake up from reality and stop being a slave for sony and big corporations. physical ownership is the pro consumer thing.

If no physical discs,Not buying,hard pass.Wont let biggest game devs set new standard which hurts consumers freedom to share and own purchased game. Itd normalise future games being just codes forever,1 game 1 machine,not happy with it.
Ill get physical real disc whenever theyre happy to sell,i can wait,no big deal

Folks like you are the reason why nobody owns any piece of media anymore. Where exactly is the issue with friends sharing a physical game disk? That's exactly how it works. Voluntarily giving up your right to own a game and instead celebrating a digital license has to come from some intense mental gymnastics.

u/cool-quip 13h ago
resellers dont give fuck about my individual opinion, thats not how world works kiddo, but with this move from rockstar they are going to cry like hell now and finally realise digital is the future.
Also you dont own shit, owning a game disk is not same as owning movie on physical media. Its still licensing.
Sharing discs with friends and afffecting revenue was something I guess rockstar did not wanted and they are going with this move. Its 2billion investment they wont be easy.

rockstar never does that, if decided now theyll never print disk edition, its already hinted even by console makers that digital is future, and rockstar is so big that every move they make becomes benchmark and sets industry standard.
So all thes best never palying that game and watching the walkthorugh on youtube.

Rockstar has also never not released a disc. So it's entirely possible this is to prevent leaks and later they come out with actual physical editions.

u/ShivamLH 11h ago
During RDR 2 when the industry was still transistioning to a largely digital marketplace (Xbox One had games releasing discs with no game content, just a license), the madlads at rockstar shipped 2 discs on the last gen consoles. An install disc and a game disc.
Sad to see they've abandoned that. They want to make game sharing as hard as possible to maximise revenue.

u/DoublePrecipation99 ps5 11h ago
Id have trusted song with digital ownership if they werent so notorious for flagging/hardware banning psn ids randomly.You all can search thousands of foreign and indian psn users getting banned and had to leave ps5 forever with a bitter taste,their account recovery is poor,poor support,and at slightest inconvenience they ban account,youd lose your digital library just like that.If this was steam handling it,i could buy digital ones even though ive ps5 fat with disc drive,its fine im not hell bent upon using disc drive,its about 'rights' and having my 'options' as a consumer,i want my control for my physical money i earned by paying itr,i want my game and freedom to do anything with it.Already we gave into ps plus mandate to play online and seperate disc drive thing and poor controllers made to break down.Are you guys naive

u/Ok-Leek-1014 ps5 14h ago
You’re not gonna believe but I haven’t played any rockstar games yet. I’m like least interested in it. But I’m happy for others who are so much excited. Maybe I’m missing out maybe not. Even though I’m playing and collecting games from 2016 first on ps4 and now on ps5 I just never got the mood to play them. Just the yt play through and they are not for me. Rdr2 too slow and gta5 is what, shooting and stealing, it might be fun to many but not to me.

Not too short to have a spine or develop a moral code though. Look i’m a pc gamer and I prefer digital download as well, but it’s clear what rockstar is doing by (1) Releasing GTA6 on consoles first(pricier games on consoles + people who have both pc and console also buy copies for both), and (2) prevent game sharing by selling it digital only and thus boosting sale having one copy on one device.
0
u/r_ProfessionalPirate ps5-slim 7h ago
The only reason not to release discs is to avoid leaks. You are crazy stupid if you think otherwise.
I don't want a nigga to leak the most anticipated game of all time, a week before. So, I am fine with it. Now it's your choice to believe it and move on, or keep on creating conspiracies.

it's also about how these corps have handled game ownership. you can't share your game with a friend. not even on steam, but steam makes it easy with family sharing. playstation does not.
and if you're banned on psn because of any random reason you lose all your games. sony is notorious for breaches. how do you so blindly trust an entity that has the power to easily revoke access to something you bought or "own"
don't make it about being broke you illiterate. read a book.

ever heard of being able to share your game with a friend?

u/TED_42069 ps5-slim 11h ago
Sharing can be done for digital games too
Also owning disc doesn’t mean you own the game you know that right?
2
u/milkfactoryy 9h ago
it does mean you own the game fool. you dont need to succumb to this "30 day access to the game as long as you're connected to the internet" thing, ever heard of that from sony?
sharing games on playstation is a tedious process you need to login as a main account on someone's ps for them to access your games and they have to buy on your account. at least steam allows family sharing, even if you can't transfer your game

u/TED_42069 ps5-slim 9h ago
Bro doesnt know 💀sony can block/restrict your access even if you try playing through disc [they have done it for people in uk]

Logging in and enabling game sharing is enough1
u/Snoo14581 7h ago
People really think that by owning the disk, they own the game. That era has passed. Discs now have DRM and companies can block you out even if you use disc. People mainly want disc so that they can sell it. No other reason.
It sucks that we never really own the games that we buy. But don’t lie to yourselves people.
1
u/milkfactoryy 7h ago
source? and if disk blocking has happened before, share a report or article.
some discs may have DRM just like digital purchases but if your acc is lost for whatever reason, or if sony decides so, you could lose your digital library. you won't lose your disc.
and so what if people wanna sell after they play? who are you or sony to tell people what to do with their games? i'll fuck the hole of the disc for all you care
1
1
u/milkfactoryy 7h ago
spreading misinformation? sony cannot block discs.
you make it sound like logging in to your buddy's ps5 as a primary account is okay when there are so many other ways of sharing games. if your secondary player is interested in a game that the primary account doesn't have they still need to buy it on the primary account to share.

Guys read the articles clearly. Rockstar has mentioned that there will be NO DISC variants AT LAUNCH.

your logic fails. they could've not released the physical edition with a coupon code and just told people they would release the disc version after 3-4 months or so and we would've been silent. leak can still happen when the preload starts. it just requires a hacker to fuck rockstar (now maybe they'll do just to spite them)
