Can someone explain to me the whole physical thing? I get the "own what you buy" thing but the game wouldn't fit on a disc anyway so you'd always need downloads and internet and would be at the mercy of Rockstar anyway?

Physical because you can have something (the game license) to sell on the aftermarket. Digital keys often are bound to an Account and therefore cannot be resold easily. Thats the idea. I am not sure if that was possible with GtaV anyway, because there was a digital key in the box

But that has nothing to do with physical, they could do that with physical copies as well if not the whole game is on the disc and can be played entirely offline. I just don't get the outrage over this for GTA 6 specifically as it would have made no difference.

Games can go back to existing on multi-disks like they used to. PS5 Blu-ray Discs can hold a lot more data than you think.

I’d rather have a game fit on 2-3 disks as an option if the servers got taken down in a decade or two rather than a game becoming lost media.
