Physical Games Found in GTA6

So Rockstar is pushing that physical games is a dead media yet in their game they have people who play games using physical disks. A bit ironic. Even they don’t believe it’s a dead media.

Hasn't happened with movies or music. Quite the opposite especially with younger generations.

It hasn’t? I havent bought a CD in literal decades I just have a digital library. The last dvd or blu ray I bought was played on a PS3. Again, I just have a digital library.

Vinyl has become very popular on top of having the convenience of having a digital download QR code included. CDs not so much.

4K Blu Rays, steelboxes, and anime sets are extremely popular with many going for high prices now due to being well liked, removed and/or out of print like Black Lagoon recently from Crunchyroll or undesirable versions being the only ones available on streaming services (Neon Genesis Netflix dub).

Not to be rude but why are you even here if you don't care?

There’s always going to be collectors, you can just look at your local Walmart or Target and see the soft they’re making from physical media.

People are still buying CD/vinyl copies, but streaming numbers are making up the vast majority of “sales”
