    It’s significantly more expensive than simply having the rest be downloaded via an update.

    With developers going under left right and centre, putting an even higher cost on their production is a death sentence.

      That’s not because of the discs lol. If you afford to spend 300 million on slop like concord, you can print discs. And a franchise like gta 6 can definitely afford them.

        It is because of discs, actually. Every single extra dollar it costs to manufacture them is like 5% of the revenue from the sale of the game that the publisher loses out on. That’s huge.
