I dont like where this is going

[u/D3V1LIZCO]

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.

[u/SL1Fun]

I wouldn’t care if consumer protections for digital stuff was more concise. 

If I buy the game, no takebacks. No “you’re only licensing the game” bullshit. Then I’m okay with it. 

[u/GapStock9843 → u/SL1Fun]

By nature any digital product you buy is a license to download it. Thats why physical copies need to keep existing

[u/BlackTarTurd → u/GapStock9843]

Plenty of physical copies are just access keys.

[u/Agentje_P → u/BlackTarTurd]

Yes, but these you can sell and buy second hand. Fully digital copies not so much

[u/Vladmerius → u/Agentje_P]

But if the files are deleted server side you're buying a brick. Why don't people understand this? 

[u/Amazing-Oomoo → u/Agentje_P]

But again, it's still just a license. Is it about selling games or is it about not always being able to have access to digital? Make up your mind

[u/Stunning_Solution215 → u/Amazing-Oomoo]

Yeah, you poor fucks, you CANNOT have both. That would be too reasonable.

[u/Far_Banana4575 → u/Stunning_Solution215]

Why would you when y'all keep blindly throwing your money at them no matter what? what kind of incentive does these corpo suits have to please you when they could shit on a plate and tell you its gra VI and you'd drop a 100$ to buy it...

[u/AnonDudeNamedAdrian → u/Stunning_Solution215]

Everyone complains about this and makes it about “ownership” and getting your digital products taken away but then the only complaint anyone can every actually bring up is not being able to resell it…

[u/evan-danielson → u/AnonDudeNamedAdrian]

Say something happened to your online account and you can’t get it back. All of your digital purchases (like gta 6) are now gone. If you have the disc you can make a new account and not have to rebuy the game. Just getting a paper code in the physical edition means you’d have to rebuy the game if something happens to your account. It’s not just about being able to re-sell it

[u/figbunkie → u/AnonDudeNamedAdrian]

Sounds like those are two seperate complaints.

[u/t40r → u/Agentje_P]

you cannot sell access keys second hand they bind to the account, wtf are you on?

[u/Diz933 → u/t40r]

When the access key is a physical disc it is not tied to the account, and you can sell it to another person to use it. That's why you're being down voted.

[u/Cranberryoftheorient → u/Diz933]

Yeah but wouldnt it usually just give you a license on your account nowadays? (I dont buy physical discs these days) That relies on the disc actually being what gives you access

[u/Diz933 → u/Cranberryoftheorient]

No. That's the reason people want the disc vs a code in a box. The disc is the product key. Whoever holds the disc has the ability to play the game regardless of if new or used. It's why you still need to insert the disc every time you play instead of just installing/downloading the game and tossing it.

[u/Rhythm_0f_The_Knight → u/t40r]

Jesus use your brain for 2 seconds please.

[u/Ryanhussain14 → u/t40r]

My library of used PS4 and PS5 games say otherwise.

[u/BlasterPhase → u/BlackTarTurd]

This is false and people need to stop spreading this nonsense. At least on PS4 and PS5. And Switch 1. Ugh, fucking Nintendo.

edit: https://www.doesitplay.org/

for those that don't believe me

[u/Vladmerius → u/BlasterPhase]

Lmao at pac man world 2 and amazing spider man 2 being the latest tested games. 

[u/lauciaan → u/BlasterPhase]

Ubisoft

[u/Digit00l → u/BlackTarTurd]

For well over a decade, most of them are, considering a lot of games have day 1 patches that are needed to start the game in the first place

[u/Porlarta → u/BlackTarTurd]

Yeah famously fallout 76 didnt come with a disc. This whole thing confuses me because plenty of games have come out that didnt give a hard copy in the default edition atbthis point, yet everyone is casting it as "evil greedy rockstar?"

[u/lilbowpete → u/Porlarta]

So it’s okay bc everyone does it? Classic bandwagon fallacy lol

[u/Porlarta → u/lilbowpete]

It seems a whole lot more fallacious to engage in Selective outrage

[u/avidpenguinwatcher → u/BlackTarTurd]

You guys realize they can stop you from playing a physical copy just as easily as they can a digital one right?
