Anyone who has purchased a physical copy of a game in the last decade needs to be castrated and executed.
>>
You've had over 20 years since Steam released to know that this is where gaming was going. I can't believe in the Big 26 you guys are still bitching about this inevitability.

Literally haven't bought a physical game in two decades what does this even mean

they just give you the case now? is it more than digital?

Dumb fucking consoletards still line up at Best buy to buy their videogames and then drive back home and then put their disks into the console to install them like it's still 1999. Then they put the box on the shelf and pretend its wall art.

You know even on the disk that you've never actually OWNED the game right? you've always just had a license to play it. the medium doesn't matter.
>>
>>741824589
This but unironically.
Why do I need to own the disc? When the servers for the game go offline, I will probably be dead.

I still have yet to see a single rational explanation for caring about game discs or buying physical games in the era where every the vast majority of games have some kind of update or dlc. Unless you really wanna play that version 1.0 with gamebreaking bugs and tons of missing content when the servers go down decades from now instead of playing whatever new port/remaster gets shit out for the newest systems, i guess

yeah most people would rather go wait in line at a fucking store or wait for shipping than conveniently download their content instantly. that's why we have so many blockbusters now.

they can do this cause the normie cattle will pay $100 (plus $20 to access in game stores).

they do it cause they can.

why are the people defending it using the "are you poor" argument, when it's objectively garbage to charge $80 and paywall THE IN GAME MAP with a purchase.

no, not optional DLC. in game stores. closed if you dont buy the slop.

You can use the disc as storage so the game doesn't take 300gb of valuable hard disk space, retard. Games used to run entirely off the disc. Did you even know that, zoomer?
>>
>>741833317
Discs are slow.
>>
>>741822512
I think it makes sense for them to make it digital only at launch first and then actually having the disc after.
What is the one big issue publisher and retailers always have to deal with when it comes to early physical copies?
Leakers, it's obvious rockstar doesn't want to deal with leakers getting an early copy and spoiling the entire game before even a single legit person gets to play it.
So yeah if you wanna blame anyone, blame leakers.
>>
>>741822512
is there no collectors edition with any fancy stuff? I remember GTA 4 at least had a keychain

we're going to see a shitload of scams where "Rockstar Games" asks people to "verify" their code with them in emails and people get scammed out of their "purchase" (you are renting the game)
>>
>>741834907
It would be built into the disc itself, meaning you'll need an online connection so meaning the disc itself is useless if it means you still need the Internet to use it.
So people still complain.
You really think companies haven't done this before?
>>
I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually never gonna buy a Rockstar game again, I just had a feeling about it last year as well when PS5 was on sale. We haven't seen anything. They haven't shown fans a single gameplay clip yet. So I decided not to and waited. I think the game itself isn't gonna be good

No one but the most abject butt bilge of bottom-feeders gives a whit about overpriced, over-sized, content randsomed, solo-only, jeetware slop.

>thinks it's 2006
>>
>>741834237
I'm not saying they should do everything, just help out. A lot of hard drives are discs themselves.
>>
>>741833317
A disc can only hold 100GB. And yeah games used to run entirely off the disc but you'd also have to buy secondary discs for DLC and they'd never receive any patches or updates to the base game.
It'd be great if we could just play off discs like it was 2006 but that was 20 years ago anon.
>>
>>741836462
>Only 100gb
That's 100gb of saved disc space. Why wouldn't you?
>>
>>741829445
I wonder where they would be if they didn't make Saints row 3 and 4 so goofy? Better yet make a proper reboot
