'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.

    Can you give an example of which games do this? I’ve never had issues with using pre-owned discs.

      Battlefield… 4? did it to a limited extent - the code was required for online multiplayer, but not singleplayer.

      By Battlefield 6, and enough people absolutely loathing their existence, EA took the hint and didnt repeat that model. Though BF6’s campaign is apparently online-only, so they apparently pivoted to a different insane design choice.
