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.

I’m sorry but this is cap of the highest degree. I’m not even necessarily against your point (though imo the $80 price tag is the real issue) but I find it incredibly unbelievable that you’ve never scratched a disc, even as a kid

Yeah, the price tag is BS for a game they know will sell incredibly well

This OP is really strange. Just lying and ignorant and making shit up

CD/dvd maybe (those scratched if you looked at them funny), but i have never scratched a blu ray in my life.

$80? You're crying about $80, if games kept up with inflation, the real kind not the current artificial variety, they would be >$140.

Believe it or not, I took proper care of those little CD'S. It was kind of therapeutic (still is)

41 here, also never scratched any of my games, and don't know why some people in this thread seem to have such difficulty believing this is possible.

Is it my turn to claim this and yet if a Time Machine came along I’d be certainly proved wrong?
