Grand Theft Auto 6 is the Latest Blow to the Physical Games and Resell Market
Grand Theft Auto 6's physical edition will not include a disc, instead featuring a download code, sparking debate about the decline of physical media and the resale market. This decision by Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive reflects the industry's shift towards digital sales, with PlayStation reporting 85% of its software sales as digital downloads. While some retailers are protesting this move, citing the value of physical ownership, the article suggests this is a business strategy to control pricing, prevent reselling, and potentially combat leaks.
