Video Games Plus, a gaming retailer based out of Canada, and an independent gaming retailer known as Loot Box Gaming have both stated that they won't be selling GTA 6.
Not huge retailers in the grand scheme of things, but interesting to see at least some taking a stand especially when they are almost certainly losing out on money by doing so.
Dude, I literally quoted what I was responding to. I don't think you actually understand what you're talking about.
You made a few weak points that don't amount to a hill of beans, then acted as though my argument was the weak one.
The Gran Turismo example still stands because it's a well-known issue, not just an anecdote. Gran Turismo is notorious for taking an extremely long time to install even with the physical disc inserted.
And bringing up niche markets like collectors who want the box art is irrelevant. They make up a tiny fraction of the people who actually buy and play these games.
The reality is that physical media generates far less revenue than digital sales through online storefronts.
