Have a nice day. Try not to get angry for no reason.

Don't make more moronic comments and I'll be happy

Your happiness is very fickle.

Most gamers have steam libraries and not a single disc to show for it. They're not sad about it....

You should burn your faux outrage to a goddamn disc and add it to your priceless collection. Im sure it will look great between your Star Craft II box and some cobwebs.

Better than the padded cell you belong in

Lol disagreeing with your perspective is insane? Alrighty....

No just observing your insane behavior

I'm saying I think discs are just becoming a thing of the past, like VHS and cassette tapes. It's kind of crazy and unhinged to act like these companies haven't done the market research and seen that most people make mainly digital media purchases these days. Frankly, you seem crazed by the latest outrage.

Oh they did they're own in house focus groups? Of course they get to cherry pick their wanted results. You are in the minority. There are more people that don't want this than do. If you can't pull your head out of your ass and look around you, then you should deal with being called crazy. Your shitty opinion is against the popular public opinion

They compare sales numbers, genius.

The existence of an angry mob means nothing. Money talks.

Wow, insightful, and not at all a crazy reply...

The same gamers that are spending their time complaining about GTAVI having no disc also helped it beat pre-sales records. Rock Star probably knew this would be the case (even if people complained about something they don't really care about it) because as they report, 80-95% of the sales of GTAV over the last few years have been digital sales.

You're being a silly child.

Do you own Gamestop stock or something? It may be an unpopular opinion online, but it's reality at the bank. Call acknowledging that crazy if you want. idgaf
