Honestly as much as I doubt this will be the case, I kind of hope that GTA 6 will not live up to the hype.
I'm about to say something very unique and niche so bear with me but I'm so fucking tired of every faucet of life now a days just being over run by corporate greed, and eagerly await the day that all these companies will start to bleed money and are forced to actually make decisions that show respect to the very people that are buying and funding them in the first place.

There are too much lowbrow plain shit eaters. Maybe have backlash from a group that suddenly grew some eyes, like with Starfield, but even this game was successful enough and had a lot of Stockholm defenders.

Lots of words to end up wrong. Again you are talking about something you are clueless about. How does one split an encrypted xvd package over 3 discs and maintain the encryption? You are all so eager to say " well they could split it voer 3-4 discs" ehhh no....that isnt how it works

You're inventing problems and making up excuses for companies' shitty behavior. This is really not that hard to figure out. If previous consoles were able to figure it out then modern consoles should be able to as well. They can simply package it as main game + update or main game + DLC. It doesn't need to be a single package.

GTA6 was always gonna do insane pre-order numbers, if people didn't give a shit that the price of essentially the base game is $100, they certainly weren't gonna give a shit about digital only. That's why it's not Rockstar but Sony that's primarily to blame for killing physical games, they shouldn't have been using this particular game as a bellwether to begin with. Not to mention that they created disc-based media (in collaboration with other companies) in the first place, so they also ultimately control the timing of its demise.

Except it does as this is the entire premise as to why games are packaged in containers that are encrypted now. You are clueless as to how games are actually pressed and made so why comment? I also noticed you didnt answer my question. How does one split an encrypted container and maintain that? I will answer it for you! Its not possible due to how the encryption was implemented. Having multiple packages doesnt get around that issue

Game and update data/DLC can be separated. There's no reason they can't. When you download a digital game they are separate.
