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.

    2ND Hand? The thing I boycotted steam for so long when it released? Out of fear it will A) control the market and B) kill 2nd Hand games.

    Which it did…long ago. Which games could you buy 2nd Hand?

      Steam killed the second-hand market for PC, but PC only accounts for about half of the gaming market. All those other people? Capable of buying used and trading in physical media.

        My only console was an atari in the 80s. So dunno if you can play your physical disk on a current xbox or PS without internet.

        Only noticed on wifeys switch that most of the games are codes in a box with no media.

        Personally never cared for buying used games, I just hated steam for killing it.
