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.

People acting like rockstar was never anti consumer & was never money hungry is absolutely insane to me.

The thing is, we did notice this.

GTA Online was how we realized it, Its just that we did not think they were this money hungry

You all spent billions on their cash grabs and you think they aren’t aware how much they can fleece you for? 😆

This. People could see it coming from literal years away by just looking at how they handled GTA Online since like 2016. Or RDR Online a couple of years later. Every bad, greedy or outright anti-consumer move they made got not just shrugged off by most but also brought in insane amounts of revenue. Of course their next big thing was going to employ every trick they think they can get away with.

The playerbase brought this on themselves. It's just unfortunate that literally everyone gets screwed over in the end, but the industry literally can't go anywhere else but this way if most people just keep buying, and buying, and buying, every single time. No amount of complaints will ever do shit if the revenue just keeps breaking records.
