>The physical edition of GTA VI will only come with a download code
looooool, can't wait for the same people mocking Switch 2 downloads to do a 180
>>
Ironic. Pretending it's a game about criminals, while being intentionally made incompatible with prisons.
>>
A couple of times while shitposting on YT I have encountered physical luddites who cannot even grasp the idea that physical is deal and discs now are literally just DRM authenticators and all data is installed on the SSD,
This hopefully should just get these retards to understand physical is completely dead.

Game is probably over half a TB. Too big.
>>
>>741772373
what do you mean it's dead? I regularly buy used physical PS5 games for half the digital price on ebay and never have any issues.
>>
>>741773526
Yeah and when you use the games it installs the data on your SSD and the disc is then just an authenticator for the DRM.
With the exception of nintendo (not sure about NS2 though) physical games are no longer played from the physical discs. it is all SSD.
Physical medium is dead, its obsolete and they are only still selling them because of stragglers, luddites.
>>
>>741772020
At least it's not an illusion of physical.
>>
>>741774325
It's a one time, one way download code in a box.

You can share gkc among infinite switch 2's (unless you're a sad and lonely anon)
>>
>>741772020
physical copies are just delayed for scummy reasons but they will eventually release them
>>
>>741774576
Nintendo can and will backlists gkc installed on too many switches. It’s not infinite. They’ll assume it’s a pirate copy and ban the console as well.

an empty box for your empty box

Proof?
>>
>>741772373
so with the price of the game anyways why not at least make an edition of the game that is preinstalled on some kind of storage media (ssd, external drive, whatever) in the box, even if its extra to account for wholesale cost of the drive?
and yeah, fuck ai data whores
>>
>>741777986
I would assume they are doing a combination of reducing manufacturing costs as most games are sold digital with only soccer moms and stragglers left behind, the most basic of normies who play games, and trying to get people to understand games are a digital medium now.
this is like a lesson if the decade big game GTA is all digital, well its one the normies remember and as next gen is probably gonna be full digital with maybe an optional disc drive accessory to play previous gen games. Like a learning tool.
