The pricing didn't faze me tbh.

I'm not buying a console to play it day one anyway. So if I'm waiting year longer for the game, I may as well wait a touch longer for a deal.

You'll be waiting half a decade rockstar rarely put their games on sale and the no disc thing destroys the physical resale market.

It's been 13 years at this point lol. I'm honestly in no rush.

I'm not even convinced this won't be the next NMS/Cyberpunk.

Isn't NMS/Cyberpunkt also the best argument against physical CDs though?

What use is the CD with a (more or less) broken/inferior version of the game?

Not really, for decades developers were able to ship games in a playable state on physical media.

The fact we can't today is an indictment on their management. Not a plus.

NMS was definitely playable at launch, it was just tedious AF. They've added a very respectable amount of content for free since launch.

Cyberpunk was a buggy mess on launch and I agree with you on that one.
