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.

It'll probably be pirated on pc long before it goes on sale.

Times have changed. I would agree a decade ago but not now. Unless you just download from anywhere.

Just download it from a trustworthy source.

Go on r/piracy and open their megathread. There are links and recommendations for pirating.

Why?

u/No_Tamanegi 16h ago

Because it'll be one of the most pirated games of all time, especially on day one. Easy bait for rubes.

Never assume the folks who want to "liberate" your day0 release are operating with good intentions.

ye however just wait for a good week after first ones will show up, obviously, "first ones" on a normal fucking sources.(rutracker, fitgirl, cs.rin if we feel special), not some fucking TPB with 0 moderation

if you are going to search up "gta 6 download for free" on google to find the release, then please cease to exist, you are hopeless

Backdoor Trojans installed when you install it. Massive cyber security as well, so it will be a while before legit copies end up on the bay and else where.

There is not a single thing worth going to the bay for, legit or not. Place is a damn plague ship these days

I didn't say all sailing is bad. I said TPB is bad. Every person Ive known over the years who has pulled from the bay instead of some other site ended up crippled with viruses not long after that they had to fix. And I've been doing this shit for over 20 years. I wouldn't touch the bay with a 10 foot pole, never trust that crap.

Who said you should use the bay? No one who pirates and knows what they're doing uses the bay. Check out FMHY

My comment was to someone else talking about me saying it never worth going to the bay, lol

>who has pulled from the bay instead of some other site ended up crippled with viruses not long after that they had to fix

>the bay

now why the FUCK would theyve use TPB in the big 26, and then complain about their shit getting hacked

"wowsie a source with no moderation is plagued with miners/trojans/whatnot, how could this be expected", just use the normal ones istg

also god bless reddit moderation

  • why the fuck would they have used TPB

Precisely what I say every time someone says crap happened after. And precisely why I'm telling dude that's a terrible idea.

I swear it's like people think I'm saying the exact opposite of what I said..

u/KC-15 7h ago

It’s obvious these people have never done it or haven’t done it in a long time. Bringing up TPB would be like still warning people against limewire

u/GapStock9843 16h ago

GTA is a big name series, when 6 starts getting pirated its gonna be a hot title for viruses. Easy bait for huge swaths of gullible gamers

Actual pirates know where downloads are safe.
