Or you could let Rockstar release the game and let your shareholders take a 0.5% hit to their stock portfolio and make it up in the games actual release..

No no no that makes too much sense and the shareholders won't get a 1.5% bump if you release it before the next shareholders something something.

I'm not even going to buy GTA6 until I can buy with a disc.

You all don't care about me, enjoy your game.. Until it's disc based I won't be buying it.

I haven't played GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas or GTA 4 for a while.. I'll play those instead.

I understand wanting something physical but at the same time I really don't see why a disc helps in this day and age, even if you have the disc they can take away access to your game at any time and you just install the game to your console anyway. Why does this piece of plastic actually help?

I uhh.. I don't mean on PS5. They can't take away my PS2 and PS1 games.

They can surely cancel my right to play My disc based PS4 and PS5 games but I can just disconnect my console from the Internet and keep playing those games.

I'm 37, I prefer disc based games and I only buy digital when it's at least 50% off or more.
