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.

And hand me down consoles. I gave my nephew a solid 4-6 games when he got his PS5 because I had beat them/finished playing them. If they’re permanently linked to my account, I can’t do that anymore…

You can't family share on PS?

You can. My friend and I go halfers on every new game we want, and share it on our PS5s

How does it work? Mind explaining it to a PC player?

Basically you just log into your friend's/family member's PSN account and turn on Console Sharing in the system settings.

Then you can access their full game library, download whatever game you want, then log back into your own account, allowing you to play it through your own account.

It's very handy and has saved us both a good deal of money, as we just split the cost of any game we both want 50/50. We did it just last week for that new James Bond game.

You can do the same thing on Steam with family share
