How are people not boycotting a digital only release of a console-exclusive game? This is the most anti-consumerist shit I've ever seen in video games. Rockstar succeeding is going to enable the rest of the industry. Gaming might be finished.
>>
>>741842740
because the public are retarded
see also: trump getting re-elected
>>
so what are people going to do with the box after they get the code and have no disc? just keep the box? why? i'm sure the majority of people are just going to throw it away. this is creating a huge amount of waste for landfills
what the fuck are rockstar doing?
>>
>>741841971
Normalfags don't know that, they didnt even finish reading the title that's just how they are
>>
>>741842793
>trump getting re-elected
he should be re-elected, he's saving the middle class just as reagan did.
>>

>PS5
That checks out.
>>
>>741841971
Nintendo does the same with game key cards so what's the problem?
>>
What even is the use case of no disc? At the very least they could have a digital rights disc, like no game on the disc but the disc is ownership and you can sell it, give it to a friend, etc. legit zero excuses evil lol. just make the disc not dl the game before release, there's no leak issue

Sounds like a nmp.

There's retards out there that have shelves of games they'll never play and they're buying this as pure performative decoration of their worthless faggot waste of life collection

what rating will WATA give to a sealed copy sent to them?
>>
I'm surprised videogames aren't full of 15 minutes of advertisements for every hour of playtime at this point.
>>
Does it at least come with a map? Or people are really just buying online a box that only stores a paper with a one time use code instead?
>>
>>741843275
Marginally in some respects, arguably much worse for the Iran debacle.
>>
>>741843149
You can trade or sell a key card. Once a code is used, it's useless to anyone else. Still not ideal by any means, but they're not the same.
>>
>>741843530
>arguably much worse for the Iran debacle.
fuck off kike

Well, sports games already have ads in them by virtue of being simulations of the real leagues, which also have ads splattered everywhere. I am shocked, though, that they haven't been more persistent with ads.
>>
>>741841971
Have they still not shown ANY real gameplay yet?

Stop asking questions and start preordering already.

It's GTA; you know what the gameplay is like by now. They know they don't have to show any anyway; people will lap it up like the good little dogs they are.

what if the amazon delivery guy (or gal, which is fine nowadays) drops your delivery into a hurricane and it sustains water damage, making the redemption code unreadable?

The cucks here are the retards spending 80$, not 100$, because you're paying 80$ for an incomplete product. Lmao@ your lyfe. GachaCHADS stay winning.

They so badly want to believe this will flop when it won't. This isn't some shitty indie game made by a bunch of limp-wristed theater kids. This is arguably one of the biggest franchises in gaming history.

just like how you have to be over 18, you also have to be under 50 to post on 4chan, grandpa. fuck off back to facebook, its bedtime.

That's honestly the biggest red flag. Not that I expect the gameplay to be outright bad, but it doesn't seem like they have anything interesting to offer.
GTA V had heists. Turned out to be really underutilized in the game, but it was something new at least. We haven't seen or heard about any kind of new gameplay in this game.
>>
My interest in the game was already pretty low. $80+No Disc means I can wait.
>>
>>741844101
It's a new system, you can switch between two characters instead of three.

>>741843149
I can lend my friend a key card. I can resell a key card. This is literally an empty case with a single use code inside.

sorry the paper with the code was crumpled no refunds
>>
So at this point whats the advantage of going through amazon, buying the box, waiting for it to arrive, use the code and then throw it in the trash instead of just going into console's store and just buy it?
>>
>>741841971
So is Donald Love the president in the HD universe?

>>741844623
There is, the code in a box released a week early so that they can preload it

you can not buy it

>>741841971
Writing has been on the wall. Most discs are just game key cards or in broken state without day 1 patches.
The world already went digital. It sucks but no point in pretending with the disc
>>
The lack of discs isn't because of money, it's more evil, it's T2 doesn't want people to lend eachother or resell the game once they are done playing.
>>
>>741845702
They put it in a box because it triggers the consumer's infantile memories getting video games when they were young and makes them more likely to buy it. They are dealing with really stupid people. Extremely low IQ emotional man-children.
>>
>>741845702
>no point
I can take a disc and give it to my friend after being done with the game.
It's the only reason to own a console in this day and age.
Key in a box is worthless.
Not even the tendy dongle cards are that bad.
And if taken to court there is a good chance that they'll lose since the packaging suggests that the feature of being able to resell your copy is still intact.
If this won't be the Jesus christ of games, rockstar will die on their stupid decisions and their stupid decisions point towards them thinking that the company will be dead if they don't make 2 billions on preorders alone. The are waving countless red flags to point a giant turd towards the landing strip
>>
>>741842098
no one is not denying that fact lil bro. we all know it's going to sell
>>
>>741848884
NTA but I've seen countless delided anons saying it'll flop
>>
>>741843150
>What even is the use case of no disc?
Pennypinching profits and more importantly no leaks before release.
The way they worded this seems like they will release a real physical later.

Look at it this way, they've wasted "apparantly" a BILLION on this retarded ass title, T2 as a evil ass rape company wants to make that money back so they're cutting corners and content to make people buy the Ultimate edition

As for the physical version, if there was a disc, each second hand sale is money not being made by these jews so they are trying to force NEW sales at the expense of the consumer, what if you dont like it? Tough shit no refunds etc.

The most simple solution is just Don't buy it, this game is going to be goyslop and pozzed to high hell so just save yourself the heartache.

>>741844153
Wait so what do you do with the box?
>>
>>741851871
as you do with all game boxes, you put them on a shelf
>>
>>741842996
If you don't want the box, why wouldn't you just buy it digitally?

Will the physical copies at least include a poster like the other GTA games?
Did RDR2 come with a poster? I only played it when it came to PC so I don't know, but I have the posters that came with all the GTAs and RDR1
