GTA 6 is a MMO?
For the majority of players, yeah, it probably is. This isn't GTA San Andreas on people's PS2, this is a huge moddable multiplayer game with a single player story people go through once, MAYBE, and then play a bunch of whacky modes and shit people made online.

It's like saying Halo or CoD is a single player game at this point. It absolutely is not.

Weird, you would think Rockstar would know they are making an almost MMO and include an online mode on release...

That's great, but if you had a disc and turned off your router and plugged it in. You think it's going to work with the state of "Day 1 Patches" in gaming today? Probably not, man. It'll probably suck ass, because Q&A doesn't exist and every giga publisher is just rushing quarter earnings rather than fully developing games. Even decade+ long games like this.

If you got a disc with the game at some point you'd still have to access at LEAST one patch to play it. And at that point you're online and you can probably download the game. This isn't a SNES cartridge man you blow on and plug in.

It's also just a weak take because I'm pretty sure of the last 10 years of physical discs I've used approximately none of them. I've always just downloaded them offline because you can do so often before you can get the physical disc and because the latest download has the patches you have to download anyways built in.

Even SNES randomizers can be online these days. Once they updated the flash cart's USB connection to be bidirectional it let the console piggyback onto a PC's internet so both original hardware and emulators could go internet multiplayer. Game cartridges become irrelevant in favor of rom files downloaded on a modern memory card inserted into the flash cart which is plugged into the SNES.

It’s a weak take for someone to want to own physical media so they don’t get it fully revoked from them digitally, because you yourself are ok with it and owning the physical disc somehow prevents someone from getting patches. Great thanks, got it, you colossal retard.

Oooh you fuckin got me I just never thought of that. God damn you’re so smart. Yep, because in some games someone goes online once to grab a patch means we should just make every single game require 100% online connectivity at all times, and if a company wants to block access to the game completely the consumer should just suck it up. Fuck I won’t be able to sleep at night thinking about how fucking badly I lost this argument due to your 146 IQ insightfulness.

Well you actually sound a lot dumber when you realize that no game runs off a physical disc anymore and you can just transfer the files to a usb stick you could carry around with you 24/7 if you really wanted.

I asked Grok if everyone involved in this argument was retarded and he told me I was retarded for asking a question to which the answer was so obviously a resounding yes.

Why own a painting by an artist? You can just find it digitally and print it! Why own an album? You can just find the music on spotify etc..! Your argument is retarded.
