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.

    Those same stores have likely happily sold physical cases for PC games containing nothing but a Steam code.

    PR posturing.

      I was so annoyed when I went to a midnight release of Fallout 4, stood in line with loud teenagers, got my disk, got home, and there was a fucking code in it.

      (No hate on the teens having a nice time with their friends, but I would not have entered their space if I knew there was no benefit).
