Why don't they simply ship physical a week after digital if they are "scared of leaks"
>>742027886it costs money to do that
>>742027886charge the goy twice for the same game
>>742027886They're not scared of leaks that's corpo speak they just want more money.
why does there need to be a game that is playable at allisn't the name GTA6 on a receipt enough for you gamers
>>742027886Because the process from start to finish takes more than a week to manufacture hundreds of thousands of discs. Too many opportunities for leaks along the way.
>>742027886You will own nothing
They only leaks they are worried about is the kind that shows how bod the game is
>>742027886They are, you can get one in december.If you mean to people buying early that's because they're greedy and know retards will triple dip.
Disc serves no purpose. If 100% of the data were on the disc, they would modify it with a patch or brick wall you from accessing it if they wanted. Discs are DRM and an added cost, nothing more.Cope comma seethe.
>>742028863I'll just wait for physical or skip the game, I only play gta to screw around and blow shit up. The story is just some bs to unlock shit.
>>742033053https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaAlooks like sony lost the technology
>>742027886Don't know, don't care. I'm gamesharing it from a friend so they will get $0.00 from me.
>>742027886they are doingthere will be a physical release they just dont want digitards to know
NO DISC NO BUYI HAVE MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMEBERS AND CONSOLES AND MULTIPLE ACCOUNTSI WANT TO USE MY GTA COPY IN MY PS6I WANT TO BUY THE DISC FROM AMAZON A LOT CHEAPER THAN 70IVE NEVER BOUGHT A 70 GAME
Disc buyers are irrelevant now it's 10% of sales
>>742037570simply not true
>>742027886Take Two want to save a few cents on physical for the first 50 million copies. Then they'll sell a physical to collectors to double dip
>>742027886They are doing exactly that but this shithole is filled brain-dead brown children who have fun shitting relentlessly on things they will never be able to afford.
>>742037658im not a fucking collector!i just want the cheap no DLC bagin basement gta copy on disc so i get access to the multiplayer!i couldnt give a single FUCK about the sp
>>742037648If it wasn't true Rockstar would've made a disc version. 8 years ago when RDR2 came out they still had some worthwhile marketshare compared to digital.
>>742027886Who realistically thinks having a disc means you have the entire game in hand? It's still just going to be a different shaped key to start a download eh? Whats the size limit for data storage on there?
>>742037784i donti have stated my reasons for wnating a disc here:>>742037564i couldnt give a single fuck if the disc has nothing on it. i still want that disc for the above reasons
>>742037784100GB. 90% of games on PS5 have the game on disc and can be played offline. Microsoft stood out on Playstation for not putting any game on disc when nearly everybody else does it
>>742037859Ah, these are fair reasons. Carry on.
>>742027886They can't.
>>742037963that 10% is the always online games that are on disclike teh division or the crew
>>742038017based rando cunt
>>742027886The PS6 won't have a disc drive. R* knows you're going to buy this game 2 or 3 times so they're thinking ahead.
>>742027886There's no physical coming. Just forget the hype train Rockstar botched it. I'm not buying GTA 6.Doesn't matter how big the launch will be it's not going to be an exciting one. I don't care how much Rockstar and Sony's respective marketing teams try to salvage their image and reputations over this because it's all irrelevant and it will never reverse my decision.
>>742038230see>>742037679
lmao they dont want to release it on DISK because they know the game will have bugs and need to be fixedthey're using you digital cucks to beta test and give them time to actually finish the game before they sell a finished copyyou guys are paying them to debug their shit game lmaoooo
>>742038210>The PS6 won't have a disc drive.then i wont buy itjust like i didnt buy the discless ps5NO DISC NO BUYdo you really think im going to pay £1000+ to use a machine that has ZERO backward compatability?do you honestly think the next ps6 console expects me to pay those ram prices and lose access to like 900+ games library?
>>742038361I didn't think of this but it sounds true
>>742038210>The PS6 won't have a disc driveThey might sell a disc drive because it means retail presence and Japan still buys a significant amount of physical copies. If Take Two save $40 million for not doing a disc to the initial wave then can just sell the disc version later for more money on their own website
>>742038339That's misinformation. There's no physical.The hype train is dead and it's time to move on.
>>742038361Retarded ghetto children will beta test my free game and I'm okay with that.
>>742027886I have a feeling it's not for leaks, but it's rather some kind of logistical cost of printing so many copies of the game before November.Apparently there's 40/50 million preorders right now.
>>742037679>OP says a week>your pic says "months" >you claim they're doing "exactly" what OP wondered they were going to doSounds like you're the brown here
>>742027886They can save millions by not making discs.
>>742038475You are citing a journalist as more legitimate than official information whic proves you are just another brain-dead nigger trying to shit up things you could never afford in the first place.You literally cannot refute an official statement. You're a sub-human.
>>742038504If they save $1 per copy that's $50 million saved from first month sales, covers a quarter of the marketing budget
>>742038475>at this moment there are no plansi bet those fuckin plans change pretty fucking sharpish when they dont get the number sthey were hoping for
>>742038567You're a dumb illiterate nigger with no basic cognitive abilities.
>>742027886They don't want to produce any discs before release to prevent leaks. Early copies get stolen by employees at disc distributors all the time.
>>742038475>Rockstar's official statementvs.>Some journalist with no sources whatsoever You are an actual fucking retard, dude holy shit.
I prefer digital however not releasing one for gta6 sounds retarded.I was going to get it for my uncle but he's bad with net stuff so now I need to hold off
>>742038610Then just charge $2 more for the disc version.
>>742038671Your post is literally wrong. Don't get upset that I called you out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW28VSmXnCoSAME AS IT EVER WAS
>>742027886They don’t give a shit about leaks, they’re concerned about the additional 15 cents it would cost them to manufacture the discs
Fact of the matter is physical is an irrelevant medium outside of the Nintendo ecosystem which is just basically the only reason the physical market hasn't completely collapsed. Pokemon Legends Z-A was the best selling PHYSICAL game, even if it wasn't the best selling game of the year in general, just to highlight how stark it's become. Even as we post, you can look at the Amazon top sellers and see how almost all the games are all Nintendo games. The Switch 2 is basically the one thing that stopped a decade and a half of decline, and that's at best a temporary stop.GTA6 is big enough that people will buy it wherever it's available and right now that's only through the Xbox and PSN storefronts. Anybody that's "digital agnostic" is statistically irrelevant.
>>742038892They could be then there's the secondary reason of the developer Rockstar really hating leaks, it's definitely easier to control leaks if you just refuse to do journalist versions and have it only go through a digital store
>>742027886>$80 game>day one dlc>multiplayer subscriptionno thanks
>>742039129If they hated leaks so much they would have a thousand Indians working for them.
>>742027886Didn't they say they're releasing an actual disc version later? It seems like that would be what they're actually doing in that case
>>742033053Discs serve the purpose of giving the buyer control over their purchase. If all purchasing is digital, the publisher has complete control over pricing, and if the digital storefronts have no competition like with Xbox and Playstation, you have absolutely no power to influence the market.
>>742027886because the process to do this takes more than a week. Some games have disc leaks 2 weeks early so it probably takes a month minimum to get disc production rolling
>>742038635>i bet those fuckin plans change pretty fucking sharpish when they dont get the number sthey were hoping forlol
>>742038603What’s funny is you are the moron because you 1) don’t know the original context 2) are incapable of parsing what the post was saying and 3) too stupid to deduce that the wagies at rockstar support don’t know anything Laughing at you. Very hard.
>>742027886NOBODY BUYS DISCS ANYMORE BUT YOUR PERFORMATIVE OUTRAGE IS HILARIOUS
>>742038785Rockstar never said anything because their own statements were misinterpreted. There is no physical disc version of GTA VI and there won't be one after launch. It's just simply not happening. They're not going to change their minds this late. Stop spreading false optimism unless you have definitive proof that physical disc versions exist because they don't.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/grand-theft-auto-vi-digital-only-no-disc-rip-physical-media-1236629695/https://mp1st.com/news/gta-6-wont-get-a-physical-disc-version
>>742042958>YOUR PERFORMATIVE OUTRAGEThis guy is one of the regular rockshills. He always says performative outrage when the slightest bit of criticism pops up about Rockstar. Don't doubt for a second that Rockstar's own 50 cent army are making the rounds on /v/
Millions of people have pre ordered this without knowing if it runs at 60fps on base PS5 or not.
>>742046915That's right I'm paid to stalk 4chan and post things to upset you lmao take your meds fag
>>742048050Is this how you spend your saturdays? Lmao loser
>>742038895Why are you telling the truth? Are you a shill or something?
>>742046978i love pre-order bait. the company is already banking on the money but people can still pull back but remain with the pre-order bonuses just in case
>>742027886>Why don't they simply ship physical a week afterhave you not heard the latest rumor news? there supposedly is no physical ever bold strategy but their money does come from GTA Online 1new era is coming >>742015328>>742024185>>742025302
>>742049710>Make multiple threads citing the same made-up journalist>Pretend official rockstar statements don't matterSub-human rat.
>>742027886Who gives a shit about GTA leaks?
>>742027886It's because the switch 2 has no games
>>742025396I also only own a switch 2. and can't play it in the first place. That's why we both won't buy it
>>742027886because it's a fucking live service slop game and online only is just another form of controlled DRMevery corporation is betting big on this game to change the standard of games moving forward so T2 is pulling all of the anti-consumer stops with it because they know they can get away with it, and others will follow in their steps soon
>>742046978I think it runs at 0 fps on the switch 2 and on pc
>>742050372kek
>>742049925>>Pretend official rockstar statements don't matterwhat statement, fag :D :D :D :D- Strauss's statement release will have physical? aka box with a code? - the (made-up) customer support message from a few days ago? which statement, skankOFFISIAL STATMENTSMAH SOURCES
>>742027886because its nothing to do with leaks, its to stop the 2nd hand market, stopping leaks is just a bonus
