I've heard that people found that pretty odd, given that the physical copies are code-in-box only.

I also heard that people were disappointed at it not being available on the PC.

For me? I haven't played the rest of the franchise, so don't know why I'd even consider it, at that price.

And even if I _were_ in the market, I'd probably wait and see if it was more like Baldur's Gate 3 (a game where they seemed to respect the player base), or more like a standard game where that $80 or $100 is just the start of them finding ways to extract more money.

I feel like that's a weird way to sell a game. If I'm buying a boxed copy, I'd like it to have a disc; or these days, maybe a USB flash drive with the installer files on it or something.

I also heard that people were disappointed at it not being available on the PC.

That's disappointing.. But I've only ever played the first GTA. I remember playing that on my PC in 1998 or 1999, and it had a 3DFX version, which was pretty cool. I thought it was a fun game.

I have played many of them in PC many years ago. When I bought a PS4 for my kids I bought GTA V and later GTA Online. Really like it. Then later Red Dead Redemption II however I haven't got enough time yet to properly discover it.

TBH - I'm certain GTA VI is going to be watered down BS; not the awesome-sauce GTA V we all WANT to be released... I've heard that Rockstar lost all its edgy programmers and is gonna be DEI BS; guess time will tell.

GTA isn't GTA w/o the raunchy speak and edgy missions - kinda like all the more recent GTA V packs that we've got... I bet 6 is a bunch of lame BS.

At least it will _eventually_ makes its way there, if not immediately.

Oh, and on the good side, I hear that they did not have something where people would pay for earlier access, and that likely left a bit of money on the table in the short term.

(Long term is a different question, as, "screws over customers" may drive people to only playing indies or the exceptions to that rule.)

If it hasn't got all of the politicaly incorrect things that characterized it would be an expensive flop.

I never really liked the style of the game since GTA III back in 2002.
