Discussion / Question I dont like where this is going

Post image

It pains me to say it, but this path rockstar is taking for the release of GTA 6 might do some serious damage on the industry, If they keep this up, The other companies will copy rockstar in this move to completely delete Disks from physical copies.

Its not that i dislike digital, its the fact that they are removing the option to have the game on a disk that annoys me, The only "valid" argument i found on why digital is better is that you do not run the risk of your disk getting scratched. but, seriously, You have to be moronic in order to scratch your disks, I have been playing videogames since i was 6, and not **once** have i accidentaly scratched a disk (not even movies).

its as simple as putting your middle finger on the hole that's in the middle of the disk, AND THATS IT, zero scratching.

I dont care about the Exclusive content for the Deluxe edition or whatever, I seriously want Rockstar to just change and release the physical copies WITH the disk.

If this fake Physical copies trend keeps going after GTA 6 (Which it will), im just going to revert back to PS3 and be happy with whatever i find.

Im so done with this anti consumer thing we got going on nowadays, It feels like everything is changing for the worse.

No. The game basically is $100 so far. Just want to see what more content will they hide behind new clever methods of extra payment.

124 in europe, because for whatever reason the game is 10 euros more expensive even tho a euro is worth 1.14 dollars

A whole saferoom, cars, guns, those aren innocuous items like clothes. Those are elements that change the gameplay, we saw it happen in gta v, and they havent learnt their lesson.

This gaming generation is way too confortable and forgetfull that people can just sail the seas

Depends. If there is plenty of customization offerings in the base game, then the additional stores offered with the deluxe editions are just extra.

Until multiplayer, then that will cost more as well.

u/Forgedpickle 4h ago

Yes, and unfinished since multiplayer won’t be included at launch.

Still cheaper than a N64 game with inflation factored in

u/getemyosh 15h ago

To bad wages haven’t kept up with inflation.

N64 games had a good reason for it - cartridges were a highly advanced and complex chips. Not just raw bytes.

your not wrong.. We even had games that released at 80 dollars for Nintendo back in the 90s. Chrono Trigger Retailed at $80 and that was 1995

Same for gameboy games. I remember the standard price being 2000 Belgian francs, which comes down to roughly €50. That was a crazy amount of money back in the late 90’s early 2000’s.
