'Preserving the Value of Physical Game Ownership' — Two Game Retailers are Refusing to Sell GTA 6 Due to the Lack of a Disc
www.ign.com
Two retailers have announced that they will not be selling Grand Theft Auto 6 due to the game not releasing on a disc.

Video Games Plus, a gaming retailer based out of Canada, and an independent gaming retailer known as Loot Box Gaming have both stated that they won’t be selling GTA 6.

Not huge retailers in the grand scheme of things, but interesting to see at least some taking a stand especially when they are almost certainly losing out on money by doing so.

    If it is on 20 blu rays they better start shipping it on SSDs instead.

    But let’s be honest, it’s not going to be 2TB for the compressed installation. Probably around 100 to 200gb that will be needed, meaning it would need 2 discs at most.

    Now, I am pretty old, so I have played a fair few games that came on multiple Disks, CDs and DVDs. Some of my favourite games are on 4 discs.

      Somebody said that the game is 300GB, BluRay XL4 can hold 128GB, so that would be 3 discs. Of course if the game console can read XL4.

        Yea, but someone saying that and it being true are very different beasts. Rockstar have not said anything about install size. And that also ignores that compression is applied as well, which would make it smaller.

        Also… Oh no… 3 whole discs? What ever would they do!
