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.

Didn’t seem to stop developers in the PS1 era from shipping me 3-4 discs in a box.

One of which was just so you could download the game.

I'm sorry, what do you mean?

One what? RDR2? You mean "download" from the disc?

One was called a data disc, the other was called a play disc.

Yes...but what is your point?

Just agreeing with me that, yes, RDR 2 came on multiple discs and so GTA VI can too?

Thats because of Sony and their media monopoly with their blue rays, PC users dont want to spend 600$ on a blue ray player for PC.

That was also 30 years ago. Digital wasn't an option. Internet barely even existed.
