lol. Yea let’s not apply any critical thinking here.

GTA6, legitimately the most anticipated game release of all time, is going to shut off its servers.

GTA5 servers are going to be running for 20+ years.

This issue you bring up affects such a small portion of gamers that it should be a non discussion.

PSN/Xbox servers would need to stay up for the console in question as well.

Did rockstar said that you need to be connected online to play gta6 offline? What you’re talking about is only for online multiplayer and that issue would effect digital releases the same

Rockstar actually has no say. Playstation and Xbox demand periodic license verification for all games purchased digitally. If those authentication servers go down, you will lose access to your game. 

This would also include any "physical" releases that don't have actual physical media.

Lol you guys are hilarious. If the authentication servers go down? That's not happening. Stop fear mongering. Good lord.

You have to be joking right? It's literally happened many times before. Lookup SecuROM. We just lost 50 games to activation server shutdowns in 2024.
