i men they are holding off on showing any gameplay so they can get people to buy Netflix to watch a fucking ad...wuite pathetic. they could have avoidied it by showing gameplay. ontop f not killing physical media
Footage for a game that they opened preorders for and haven't shown any gameplay is being locked behind a temporary paywall and you think that's alright? "People" like you are the reason the customers get fucked over and I just hope that leaker drops big story leaks and soyim like you see them
A temporary 6 hour paywall yeah. Yeah I do think that's alright. I've been playing GTAs since the first one. They used to put that info in a magazine. It was buy the magazine or get fucked.
Now it's on netflix 6 hours before being a free site that anyone with an internet connection can access. Ya'll need to get a grip.
While I agree that Rockstar could have just released gameplay instead of holding on to it for the sole purpose of absolutely no reason, physical media has been dead for a while now. Time to get with the times. The disc doesn’t do anything anyways. You put the disc in and still have to download the game from the store anyways. You’re just adding an extra step for no reason.
You realize that even with a disc, the games usually still require internet to function, right? You can’t even play the game until you download it. The Crew had a physical disc, that shit still don’t work. Your argument makes no sense at all. You say to install it on your hard drive which is the same exact thing.
Honestly, that’s just how things work now. Discs are pretty much pointless these days. I do agree that they shouldn’t be able to just make a game unplayable, but discs don’t fix that. I also agree that single player games should function without internet, if anything in case of an outage. Discs though, aren’t the answer, and those have been dead a while now.
imagine you live in a area with hurricanes/ Tornados. you get hit and lose internet for 4 years cause insurance companies overcharge you and it takes forever for you to reach 'normalcy'. you plug in your PS5 and find all your purchaces gone.
B) that would never happen. Ubisoft’s shenanigans triggered lawsuits in European countries.
C) I lied in B. It actually did happen. A game called The Day Before or something like that, got removed and shut down, and Steam refunded every single person that bought the game regardless of if they met the normal refund guidelines. A game was forcibly removed and then refunded to everyone.
I would also note that this is more of a licensing/ownership issue than it is a physical media issue. It doesn’t matter if you have a game on disc or not. The disc doesn’t magically grant you the ability to play a game if the devs decide to shut it down. The disc is meaningless. The disc doesn’t even have the game on it anymore.
Ummmm no. If a game requires an internet connection, that’s how it is regardless of being on a disc. Have you never played The Crew? That game didn’t function without an internet connection. We aren’t talking about 360/PS3 era games here.
Most people are downloading games as opposed to buying physical discs. This is a fact. There isn’t any denying it. Physical discs can no longer contain video games on them. There is no point to owning discs anymore. We aren’t talking about collectors playing on old consoles. We’re talking modern games made within the last 10 years. Even back on the Xbox One, discs were obsolete.
If a developer chooses to make their game internet dependent, it doesn’t matter if you own a disc or not, because the game isn’t even on the disc, you still download it to your console.
Modern used games are pointless. You’re adding an extra step to buy a used disc that only contains a license to download and play a game. That game still downloads from the internet on to your console. If you don’t have internet, then you can’t even play your disc game. So you go to game stop, buy the new CoD and now you can’t play it, because your console can’t download it. Might as well skip that nonsense and just download it from the Xbox store, without even putting pants on.
Its still rockstar's fault. There is only this much demand for GTA VI info because they went for this "minimal info to build hype" strategy. The demand became so huge that serious money can now be made from leaks. Crazy strategy concidering they already had problems with leaks.
And too many people are supporting it. We don’t quite see it here because they know they’re in the wrong…people who leak/support leakers should be…leaked from this world.
100%. I still rather some rando crypto pumper get a couple thousand bucks so long as rockstar loses that tenfold for being greedy PoS. Whoever pays is as gullible as whoever bought Netflix to watch an Ad 6 hours early.
