GTA 6 will launch as download only - does that mean the disc is dead?

nah disc collectors still exist, they're just not the priority anymore. physical media's becoming a niche thing but it's not dead yet

Honestly? I think physical media will hang around longer than people expect, especially for collectors. GTA's huge enough to go digital-first without killing discs entirely.

honestly i think discs have been dying for like a decade already so this isn't really surprising, wait actually people still buy physical copies? idk it just seems kinda pointless at this point tbh
