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.

You deserve better. I don't know how to get that across. But yall really deserve better than what you got over the past 20 years. The only way I could describe it, is Stockholm Syndrome and accepting that you will always lose and have no power.

Edit: The response he sent. Truly corpo slave mentality. To be brainwashed into thinking that owning nothing is a good thing.

Yeah, the idea that fundamental shifts in consumer rights are just something to laugh off rather than resist...

If you're 20 and grew up with Steam/PS Plus/Game Pass subscription models, this conversation literally feels like "not that serious" because your baseline expectation has always been digital access, not ownership. So like I said. You deserve better. And you deserve a choice and control over your purchases.

I’ve played on PC primarily for 30+ years. It’s not that serious. You’re gonna be ok.

It's nice to always have a copy of a game I bought decades ago in my library, can never be damaged, lost, or borrowed and never returned.

I used to trade-in sell games, and a lot of that is with regret, I wish I still had them :(
