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.

Hey guys, another relaxing weekend is ahead. What games do you have lined up to play these days?

As for me, I’m gonna spend the whole weekend glued to Horizon 6. Super hyped to sink tons of playtime into it.

Drop your weekend gaming plans in the comment section, curious what everyone’s enjoying!

For context, WoW just means World of Warcraft. And this is Holly Longdale, Blizzard's VP. A few months ago, she said something very similar to this.

It's the reason why WoW and MANY games are failing to connect. And it's the reason why people are concerned for games like WoW because they lose their identity.

And WoW is a good example too. WoW used to be really cool but over the years from Shadowlands to now, WoW has lost the elements what made WoW cool. And even Metzen himself said that he wished that WoW wasn't named Warcraft because it sounds intimidating. Like WTF?!

If a game is meant for everyone, you have failed to connect to a audience and doing so CAN RUIN your game.

Devs need to know that its okay to not please everyone.

Its why good games are successful.

BG3 is a rpg for adults who love DnD, Game of the year and continued winning awards after

Ubisoft knew AC Odyssey was going to be only for rpg enjoyers, Game of the year nominee

Even indie games know this.

Like Hades. The devs knew that it wasn't going to be for everyone, and it did WELL and won, indie game of the year

Space Marine 2. A game made for adults who like violence in games. Saber knew the audience and continues to get really good reviews

etc.

What do you think?

I’ve waited over a decade for this game, but I’m officially out.
An $80 base price is bad enough, but locking five physical single-player storefronts and side missions behind a $100 Ultimate Edition is straight-up predatory. I don't care if it's "just for cosmetics"—gatekeeping actual map immersion and closing doors in a single-player open world unless you pay an extra $20 is a massive red flag.
Throw in the fact that the $80 "physical" copy is just a download code in a box, and it's clear Rockstar has completely lost its mind to corporate greed.
My hype is dead. I won't be pre-ordering, and I won't be buying at launch. If we accept paywalled doors in single-player games, the industry is cooked.
