The issue isn’t that the game doesn’t fit on one disc. The issue is that without a disc, the games can’t be resold, rented, or lended. The disc is effectively a DRM check.
Unless the entire game is provided, then it will always be a DRM check. If they’re just providing data for a preliminary download, then the buyer is still left to rely on being give access to download the rest of the data.
No, see, you include a disk but all that disk has on it is the installer for the launcher with a “download gta6” command thrown on the end.
This is nowhere near the first “doesn’t contain a disk” game and choosing gta as the one to throw a fit over feels performative. This has been a thing for over a decade.
Considering the size of the game, it would need at least 3 discs. Doubt they’re gonna redesign every case to accommodate that.

I think previous GTA games have come on multiple discs. Possibly as far back as vice city.
You might notice I didn’t say it was impossible to do so.
A bluray can hold 100 GB. They could fit it on one if they only put low resolution textures on the disk and made the high res textures a download.
TDK had 320GB BluRays ready in 2009. I don’t think GTA VI will need more than that.
