'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.

    Cursory search indicates that Xbox Series X can read BD-50, PS5 can read BD-100, so that’s 6-7 and 3-4 discs, respectively

      Also worth mentioning that’s with the game uncompressed. There’s likely going to be many large sections of the game that will compress to a fraction of their original size.

      Tbf my copy of GTA V for PC came on 7 discs back in 2014, so I guess it’s not unheard of for them. My gaming PC didn’t have a disc drive so that was a fun start. Multi-disc games are worse on consoles though for sure
