'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.

    Lots of games have shipped on multiple discs over the decades. As recently as FF7 Rebirth which was shipped on two or three, iirc.

      I was familiar with PS1 games doing it but hadn’t seen it since then. Admittedly I haven’t owned a console since the Xbox 360 and even that I only played a few games on. I was under the impression that most discs these days basically amounted to a cd key and then the actual game downloaded to the console when you tried to play it.
