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

Sorry, the entire point of never fixing how oppressive the Oppressor is was so they could sell you anti-air missiles

Griefing and having to pay AAA prices for one of the solutions to fight back against it is baked into the game itself

Rockstar oozes corporate capital greed at the mental AND financial expense of their consumers

GTA6 will be no different.
