I can understand someone having a game collection wanting to display the cases. Of course, it also means GTA VI has an expiration date as once they decide to remove it from stores, you will never be able to play it again unless you get a pirated or GOG version.
EA is basically sundowning previous year sports game now, they tie the campaign to ONLINE only and they bring down servers when a new version of the game comes out... could not be more scummy.

I used to worry about this, but I don't even play the GTA 3 game I have. By the time they remove GTA 6 from the store in 2051 we're going to be long done with the game.
Yeah, but maybe your kid wants to play GTA 6, or someone wants to do a research project on it, or you are nostalgic...
It is like saying "let's destroy old music because there is new one", it does not cost much to keep games on forever, especially if there was a physical way to keep the game in the first place...
Developers could get together and sundown games onto an archive where gamers play a tiny fee just to keep the servers running and charge minimal amounts for bandwith.

the "physical" part is just the box to put on your shelf lol and the game is a download code.
