When it’s less than 50€ and available as disc…
For which you will need internet to activate/play the disc.
So at this point it became a useless piece of plastic anyway.
If it was like on GoG it would at least make sense.
In GTA 5, that depends in the hardware. For Playstation and XBox, the disc was enough. No code activation required.
Do they change that, too?
Dunno. Not a console player.
But thwy are supposedly coming at a later date: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/26861883
The disk isn’t completely useless. It’s a physical license key that is transferable and resellable. I was fully planning to purchase a used console to play GTA 6 with a physical disk, then sell both when it came out on PC. That’s still my best plan I guess.
Fair. But you know what? They are rumored to come at a later date.
Take2 felt the gamers wrath and now they’ll prey on the FOMO-players that will go out of their way to buy the game day one.
And the patient gamers can buy the CD.

BUT: Take it with a rock of salt. We’ll see.
Yeah, when I said that’s still my best plan, that’s what I was referring to. Currently in the wait and see phase. I really would like to play on launch, but I might be able to wait a month…
Same boat.
Im ready or the big version (on pc) but I’ll wait to see what is included in standard and if it justifies the additional €€€
