Sorry, never heard of them, and game stores are almost dead where I live. But still, interesting situation.

I approve this message. This digital only trash and random discounts every hour of the day is a FOMO nightmare.

I can appreciate what they are trying to do but this is far more likely to just hurt their business rather than actually lead to getting a disc version of the game.

Ps5 disc can only hold 100gb apparently so they be waiting forever

Won’t matter to Rockstar for sales.

I’m sure Rockstar is devastated by this news

Even PS is highly digital now, Xbox is like 90+ percent if not more. Nobody cares.

Sounds like they hate money.

lol alright

It’s just lost business for them then. Rockstar doesn’t give a fuck because they’re still gonna sell millions lol

As much as I love a principled stand, and agree with them, I’m not sure refusing to sell a game that is going to make an absolute shit load of money is the wisest business decision.

That’s good, it prevents disc duplication.

A company named after a predatory micro transaction tactic taking this stand is interesting

So many people applauding the digital only route of rock star in the comments is wild.
Remember buying digital means you own nothing

Kotaku had to dig really deep to create a story out of this.

Enjoy watching your business go elsewhere, I suppose.

Never heard of them

I could be completely wrong but is there an argument to be made that you technically don’t own the digital copy? Similar to how if you buy a movie or show digitally you don’t technically own a copy and if that provider delist that movie you lose access to something you bought. Maybe it’s a tad different because in most cases the physical disk for a video game is mostly access to download the game it’s a bit different of a scenario but I think it still raises an argument if you dont technically own the digital copy of the game?

Take Two bootlickers (and likely some paid astroturfers) out in full force in these comments
Lack of physical discs only hurts consumers.

Never even heard of these 2 businesses so ultimately makes no difference to me sadly.

Yeah doubtful. They are going to shut themselves out of biggest release and lose thousands of dollars.
Gtfo with this nonsense..

Looks like Amazon is going to have increased sales of GTA 6. Its an interesting business move to skip out on one of the largest launches in history to make a point. Especially at a time when retail video game stores are dying out. Best of luck to them.
