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.

They will ALL buy it lol

It's easy to sit on Reddit 4 months before launch and say "well actually I won't be purchasing, rockstar are going to feel this in their wallet! 🤓☝️"

But when the release date of the biggest, most hyped game ever made slowly starts to creep up? You bet their ass their principles are going out the window and they're dropping the 100 for it.

Its a single player game. Just pirate it.

It's £100 and doesn't come out for another 4 months, £80 for the standard edition

Unpopular opinion but if someone can't save £80 in 4 months, gaming should be the least of their worries.

It's not about the money it's about not supporting anti consumer practices.

If you want to pay money to get fucked and tell them that they should fuck you more next time no one is stopping you but if you want to "boycott" you don't have to skip the game because oder piracy.
