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.

    The game costs $100, the “lite” bullshit is just a poor deception.

    But the code leads to a download, right? Which is you owning it, just like all other digital media you’ve downloaded.

      Until you can’t download it anymore.

      The “retro” gaming market is going to absolutely suck in 30 years because you don’t “own” anything.

      “Ownership” should not imply the DRM you purchased it through can revoke said “ownership” whenever it becomes convenient. If you still have to ask permission to play something you “own”, I don’t call that ownership.
