    My backlog is big enough and I’m old enough that I don’t see a need to buy a new game for a long time.

    Fight the establishment by getting kids addicted to old games.

      Shit man I’m old and would’ve dropped a good chunk of money on a complete, single-player GTA6 physical disk, at launch.

      I might’ve even gone and bought a PS5 as crazy as that sounds. I already have a great PC and haven’t gotten a console in a decade but I’ve gotten so much enjoyment from the franchise I’d feel pretty safe buying.

      But the lack of a physical disk might actually be the thing that makes me completely reverse my decision. I tolerate it on PC because there are so many indie games it doesn’t really make sense to have a physical copy every time but with a huge AAA title from a proven money hungry powerhouse like R* it’s completely unacceptable. I want to be able to dig that disc out in 20 years and play forgotten games. I want to take my console out into the woods and play the game completely disconnected from the modern world if it suits me.
