Regarding GTA V and physical disc...
Regarding GTA VI and focus on no Physical disc ...
... I feel like we should focus on other stuff. Let me explain.
Hello all fellow redditors reading it.
Lately i been reading a lot of anger all about no disc being present in physical copy of GTA VI. And i feel like this is frankly a way how it will be one day. Even Steam machine does not have disk drive. PS5 you need to pay extra or buy extension.
We can be angry, we should be angry but it feels like going againts natural progress. I mean you cannot play those CDs without internet nowdays and you still download majority of the game from the servers. Let alone many physical copies got into people hands even before official release, which meant break of intednded release date.
Hey i am not trying to defend it, physical copies are good to have but not necessity for pretty long time. Especially if you are Steam user. Heck my PC does not have CD drive since i was 18.
What should we be focusing on is puting basic features behind paywall. Which to be fair is much more outrageous then doing no CD launch. Like locking shops and activities behind paywall? Really? Rockstar made much more then game cost by GTA Online alone! Why is that even a thing???
I feel like gamers should focus in much bigger issues and that is locking basic game features behind paywall.
Not a day one DLC.
Not a extra weapon or ability.
Whole gameplay mechanics or activities.
I see post everywhere i look which is about no disc launch and it feels like distraction for THE WORST deluxe edition models we seen ever. I am so hypped for GTA VI but that feels like a gut punch. And it all feels so much ignored and it almost seems like there is gaslight propaganda about Disk missing just to steer away the attention for something which actually can set dangerous industry precedent and new low for gaming companies.
If you want to be angry please be my guest, but if i can apeal to you all. Be angry where it matters and i think by priority, the deluxe edition lock content is much more frightening and concern worthy.
Cheers to you all and happy gaming!
Also friendly reminder be civil and good to those people, i bet devs poured their soul, tears and blood into this amazing project, if i could bet, it is not their decision to make.
TL;DR:Feels like there is artifically created drama about no disc to swipe all attention from preorder bonuses which lock game mechanics behind paywall.
