Grand Theft Auto VI

Yeah, no disc doesn't really bother me (I've got almost 2000 games on Steam and haven't bought a physical title this console gen), but that's a lot of content beyond skins and cars. Was surprised to see a bunch of shops and stuff on the site.

It's likely not that much compared to all the free shit, and looks fairly common for the AAA collector shit especially Ubisoft stuff. The price looks fucking stupid though but well they know it won't impact their sales much if at all seeing as how most AAA games consumers are already buying $70 stuff as it's the norm so that's just a little bit more expensive for likely the biggest game of the year and potentially the surrounding years too. No disc is kinda whatever but also expect a leviathan-sized download if they didn't bother, although it might just be a trick to reduce resales cutting into their profits.

Honestly all looks like pretty shitty practices but well people are so excited about it they'll forget all about it.

Also, still no sign of online stuff, this is explicitly for the single player game. Online launched 2 weeks after GTA V, but I wonder how they're balancing the transition from that cash cow (still over 1 million daily players 13 years later) to attempt to find that same success with GTA VI Online.

I'm not sure they could burn discs even if they wanted to. The highest capacity commercial blu-ray's only go up to 128GB, and I'm pretty sure GTA6 will be one of the largest file-size games of all time, and I doubt even fully compressed would get below 128GB.

FF7 and Horizon Dawn have 2 discs, and nothing preventing them from doing 3 discs if that's needed, especially with the $10 price bump. It's most likely to curb resales.
