Jo_clever_ke224For people with issues regarding the price, the trick is to not have much time for games, falling further and further behind in your backlog, to the point that you only buy AAA games six years later for less than 15 bucks.
NoonDragoon121Before anyone defends rockstar saying “the game is too big” FF7 Rebirth was on two discs and still was $70
Michael Love94Why would I preorder a download code?
Pickles, Y'all78Putting the physical tax on a digital-only release is certainly a choice.
AUXTRONtheARCHIVIST📺51Workers unions suffered for this shit
Not Lukyhawk39You forget a fate worse than game key cards exist.....
yerpyar36I'll wait for a sale, I've got other games to play
Sneaky Sly21Probably putting a code in a physical box so later they can milk everyone with a real physical edition
Cody Owens17Man Rockstar made every bad choice they could huh
Kayfablez14No disc during the A.I disaster? I'm good No disc, no buy
ZuulGhoul14Cartridges are more expensive, they said The $70 game will pay workers better & curb macro-microtransactions, they said "Games have to make money at some point", they said Least there's an idea where SOME of that money's going: youtu.be/dnuipPQDd_w
Jeremy Peeples13The only reason to buy physical would be an employee discount at a retailer, realistically.
Cherry11$80 and digital only not worth it but hey morons will defend its price but shit on Nintendo and others for attempting $80
Caleb Edwards10Ultimate edition also includes shops that are only open if you purchase that edition. And Rockstar are going to get away with it because it will bother people (it is me people) that there is content not available in the game I purchased. 🙄
Wobedraggled9The closer it gets the less I give a shit about it...
Barbaras Reformed7Yeah, they can shove that all up in they ass.
GC47I've heard gamers talk 💩 about boycotting this game and that game for a few gens now and overwhelmingly nothing happens. That's not on the companies. That's on gamers. I stopped taking gamers seriously about boycotting years ago bc I know they'll do nothing but complain on social media.
Zoë6$80 to a $100 for a key code…
Son Void5I think I have a smidge more respect for game key cards on Switch 2 now Just a smidge
Adele3Yea, no, I'm good, ta. 😅
Roxie2Bank of America is ecstatic rn
Nero2Wasn't interested in this game to begin with, but having a download code as the only "physical" option is definitely a choice. If I were interested at all, I would be waiting for a steep discount years later. I have other games to play.
GC42$79.99 ain't bad in comparison to what everyone speculated & feared it would be. But this is just the price of admission which will lower over time. They aren't gonna interfere w/ that & mess with the 💵 they plan to make on the back end. They want ppl playing not outside of it bc retail price.
FantaVision2$80 code in a box…
GhostWriter1012I'll get it eventually i know, and i'm sure it will be awesome, but nah, I can wait for a sale.
Rockstar says “physical” versions of GTA 6 will contain “a download code inside the box”
Mailia8Guess they really don't want to see any used copies up on Ebay after two weeks.
Alex Selby-Boothroyd6Pretty ambitious to think it will only take a week to download
Sushrit Pasupuleti | digital communism enjoyer6Buying physical has no meaning if it’s just a download code that stops working if something happens to your account or you just want to sell the game. GTA-shills will fight and justify this shit behaviour and worship this piece of shit anti-union company anyway.
Andy4I can hear doesitplay exploding from here
America`s Most Wanted4and some ingame shops are only open for buyers of the ultimate edition. lol...
Anyways, devil's advocate here, but given the % of PS5/XBS consoles out there without a disc drive one could argue code in box may provide a better opportunity for retailers, particularly those that don't sell used. In any case, can't say this changes anything regarding total sales expectations.
Einhver helvítis gaur7At any rate, I know the internet is always “Nintendo bad”, but this to me says the KeyCard was the best option for all parties involved. People can still sell and trade, and it’s low cost for the publishers.
Gene2If anything physical sickos (me) will buy the re-release on disc.
Hexistential2Why would a digital console person buy a code in the box? The whole point of digital is to be less wasteful/not take up space in your house. I don't get it
Oh wow, a box with a download code. Not manual, map, art book, nothing. The future is dumb.
Mallorie Malcontent ✨39"But you can put it on your shelf." my shelves all full, bitch. Because I like OWNING stuff.
Veronica 🌺💀🖤🪽4God forbid I own a piece of physical media that can't be ripped from my grasp by infrastructure collapse or y'know, the company just not wanting to upkeep that product on their servers anymore. I wonder what will become of things like heirlooms if we keep denying new physical media to be produced
Benji2One of the purest joys for me is getting back into retro and older gaming and seeing that this singular disc has everything I need as well as reading the manual cover to cover for fun. I remember my disappointment when my Fallout 4 collectors edition only had the SPECIAL chart and nothing else.
Physical Editions of GTA 6 Will Come with "A Download Code Inside the Box", Pre-Loads Begin on November 12th.
Ria☆ 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️15whoever decided that should reconsider
Andy Gilleand8Honestly, I'm really disappointed in this. I might not preorder, and I might wait until the price goes down or they come to their senses and release a proper physical edition. Two discs is perfectly fine, @rockstargames.com
Hexistential8Plz don't buy it humans
Tom Supreme7They spend 2 billion Dollars + x for making this game and they don't give it out on physical media? What a joke.
Wildcatt 🐯 (Now on Ko-Fi)2I still wanna play GTA VI, but just...fuck man The economy is such a joke istg
A petition for a physical disc edition of Grand Theft Auto VI: pnp.games/4c4au We're three video game stores in Winnipeg, Manitoba. On our own we're easy to ignore. Together, we're a number they can't. Add your name to the call for a real GTA 6 disc release. 1/2

Per Rockstar: "The physical version of Grand Theft Auto VI, containing a download code inside the box, will be available starting November 12 to support pre-loading." 😬
Jordan Middler30So if preloading is available from November 12 for physical, surely that means tons of people are going to buy copies in stores with no clue they can't play it for a week? My 5-a-side group chat doesn't know or care what preloading means. They'll assume if it's in a box in ASDA then it's "out".
Jordan Middler5I'm sure absolutely no one will have a problem with this. Also, this was inevitable for about 200 reasons.
We’re getting more and more video games being sold with a download code inside a box instead of a disc. It’s looking bleak.
Robert the Battletoad6And you wonder why retro games are taking off in popularity. People. Want. Physical.
The Muznick4Horizon Forbidden West was the first time this happened to me. Bought the collector's edition, love the sick statue it came with but why even bother giving me the steel book if all it has is a download code!
=-_. Southpaw ._-=3"If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing" is about to becoming a mantra for plenty of gaming circles...
Sean2I am not a GTA dude, so I wasn’t getting it anyway, but I will never buy a big game full price digital; it would need to be deep sale or PS+ monthly for me to maybe justify it. I can play my Dreamcast games 26 years later, I will not spend big money on games that can be denied to me at some point.
Sammy 🎮 🌻2There’s nothing I hate as a physical game collector more than a code in the box game. It’s just so pointless to me; you may as well just buy it straight from the online store and have the game to play quicker. 😅
