Physical media still serves collectors and players with unstable internet-Rockstar's digital choice reflects market trends, not industry death. One major publisher abandoning discs doesn't erase millions of console owners who prefer ownership. Yeah, discs aren't going anywhere honestly.

disc dead in the west maybe, but asia still pushing physical hard. digital-only push is just another western thing that won't stick everywhere.

Digital-only launches actually democratize access for players in regions where physical retail infrastructure is crumbling. Anyone claiming discs are thriving clearly hasn't noticed GameStop's ghost town vibes lately.

yeah the disc is totally dead honestly. my little brother couldn't even find a disc drive last week and just downloaded everything, that's basically proof right there that physical media is finished. W take
