Explained in plain English
Why are discs disappearing?
The move away from physical discs for games like GTA 6 reflects a wider trend. Digital distribution is cheaper for companies like Take-Two, as it cuts out manufacturing, shipping, and retail costs. For players, it means instant access and no clutter, though it does mean you don't truly 'own' a physical copy.
