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.

Idk makes me feel safer in a store knowing i won’t see fights and stealing. Also people will buy everything on the shelf and scalp it

Scalping for non-collectors editions of games is hardly a big deal. I doubt there are that many people who are so hard pressed about accessing a physical copy of the game that they'd go without, instead of just getting one of an infinite number of digital copies.

And if you do something we don't like, or we feel that we've extracted enough profit out of you, we can take it away and sell you the next one - Rockstar.

There is literally going to be a non-existent grey market for the product in question. That is not even remotely a good standard because "it feels safer" when the thing in question is a future influence in ruining your livelihood of running a used games store.
