Strauss Zelnick, boss of Rockstar parent company Take-Two, has defended the company’s decision not to release GTA 6 on a physical disc, insisting when it comes to big games, discs “don’t really make sense for the consumer.”
But then it becomes kind of a pain in the ass when you reach the “end” of one of the discs.
I remember Mass Effect 2 being split into two discs, but it was impossible to know which missions/planets were part of Disc 1 and which were part of Disc 2. You could be out exploring, finishing up missions, and bam get hit with a “change to disc 2” popup. So you switch to the other disc for a while, only to be greeted with a “switch to disc 1” at some point to finish a quest or to move the story along.
Discs are very slow and games need to be installed to a local storage anyways. What stops me from eventually switching the disc and installing it from three discs instead of a single one?

IT’S SO MUCH WORK! :rolleyes:
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on Amiga came on 10 floppies back in the day. You do what you gotta do.
