I will never understand preorders for software. It's infinitely copyable. There is no scarcity for software.
Correct answer
Here we go again with the preorders for digitally downloaded games. Why, why have we not learnt from all the botched AAA game launches?
Preorders for AAA games made sense when supply was scarce, demand high, and games pretty much working at launch day.
This is not the timeline we live in anymore.
I think publishers realized this a while ago which is why pre orders usually come with a free skin, or early access, or something like that.
Don't get me wrong, I still think pre ordering a digital item is stupid as hell, but there are definitely people in the boat of "I'm 100% going to buy it no matter what, and this gets me the game a week early" - so for them it makes sense.
But what if the bytes run out? What then?
I buy physical anyway, and have never had an issue just going into a shop and picking up a game on day one.
That ws when preordering made sense, there were queues andcould sell out.
I have waited quite a lot to get GTA 5 on a sale, and eventually got it for free (Epic giveaway).
I could wait the same time for a %75 sale.

I would write if we were on reddit
Now if SSDs could magically become affordable, I might actually be able to play it.
Get a small SSD and just put that game on it?

According to GTA 6 Intel in a post that has since been taken down, Grand Theft Auto VI will "be just under 200GB", with other "sources" also corroborating this claim. Of course, this rumor has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, and it was already clear to fans that GTA VI will be quite demanding when it comes to storage.
This one arrived in the post just in time for this news the other day
Nice DS (could be a DSi I guess, can't see the camera) you got there. I don't think I've seen that shade of yellow before.
Looks white to me with strange Lighting but who knows
It is the Lime Green Japanese DSi exclusive color!
Thanks, it was my latest DSi pickup (there's been a lot)
This one is a color exclusive to Japan, it is the Lime Green one :)
Do you have GTA China Town DS version lol?
Yes! But not a physical copy, I'm using this with my DSi:
Ayyy nice. I'm still on my ye olde R4 clone lmao
Basically the same thing
It's very unlikely to be playable on the steam deck, so I won't be playing it. That's my only gaming device. Looking forward to seeing others enjoying it tho.
By the time they release it for PC, there might be a steamdeck2 that can run the game.
Lol yeah that could be true. I'd definitely be first in line for a steam deck 2, the first one is a great little machine.
Luckily you can run every single other GTA game before VI with relative ease on the Steam Deck!
Are you saying gta5 runs well, locally, on a steam deck?
Yes, very!
If you're not morally against the idea, I recommend you consider your legally purchased GTA V copy to just be a license, and then either download a crack to apply or pirate one. Rockstar requires a online check in to play your single player game.
And I am well and truly against that idea. But regardless, yes it plays well!
Yeah I tried 5 recently, it held up okay for a fairly old game.
Isn't pc masterrace excluded from GTA 6 release? It will probably be on PC in the next year or 2.
With Linux compatibility right?.. Right?
Singleplayer 90% probably
Multiplayer like 5%?
GTA5 had no issues on Linux.
You couldn't play multiplayer because of anti cheat
You could until a couple years ago dangit. And I did.
Makes it easier for us to not preorder.

Not coming to PC until ~2032 anyway.
Not buying a console slower than my PC just to play this at <1080p <30fps with upscaling.
Anyone who pre-orders a digital product that can't actually run out of stock is a true mystery to me. Just wait and see. If you're I've of those eager to pay this, you've already waited literally years. Add a few days, see if it's actually playable and not a buggy mess.
In defense of preorders, even if they can't run out of stock, servers can get overwhelmed. If they also do preloading and don't fuck up a day 0 patch, you can ensure you can play the game immediately.
I still wouldn't preorder this kind of game, I wouldn't trust them not to botch it every way imaginable, but I'm reminded of the Silksong release, which I would've trusted with a preorder and could've avoided dealing with Steam going down when trying to buy it ;D

I'm mildly annoyed about this, I want to boycot it on principle because the whole union thing, but I'm going to have to buy it for my boy so I'll end up playing it anyway.
I miss him 😔
Can’t wait !!
Nah, not pre-ordering anything.
Honestly, seeing as how Rockstar turned GTA 5 into a microtransaction machine after it was already a $60 game, I am so wary of buying it that I might just skip out entirely. I'm not looking to fund Rockstar's next decade and a half with a single higher price game and whatever the new Shark Cards are.

Don't even think about it ...
I'm done with pre-orders. They ALLLLLMOST got me with the Halo remake.
I’m not at all a “never preorder” guy and will happily pre order games I know I’m going to like.
That being said this game will be the only GTA game for the next 1/4 of my life so I also feel no pressure to actually buy it on release.
No thanks. The more I hear about it. The less I want to play it.
