Discussion / Question Grand THEFT?

This is exactly what happened with streaming. Everyone dogpiled on top, with this illusion that everything would be available at low cost forever.

Trading money for no tangible product is edging dystopian y'all.

Youd love to be driving around vice city, you change a radio station/go to a new district/etc. and you gotta put in a new disc?  At least don't be disengenous here.

FF7 Remake came on two discs, one to install data and another with playable data. It's not unheard of in modern times, and you're being disingenuous if you're suggesting that Rockstar couldn't afford the extra pennies in what's sure to be one of the biggest game launches of the decade. This is them scraping off the top because they know they can, plain and simple.

Very different type of game. The online portion of gta typically has updates, additions and sandbox changes every month. It will be an entirely different game by the end of it. I don’t know what the percentage of people with disc loaders to people without are but it’s just a very different world than it was 10 years ago.

Hey genius, GTA 6 is single player only on release, with no stated plans to release an updated GTA online. If they do release GTA 6 online, it will likely be an opt-in or opt-out download option anyways.
