Do you think GTA VI will be a success or flop on release? (retrofed.com)

The catch is: code in a box only (if sold physically) as it's not being sold as a disc nor cartridge. Vote with your wallet, is it worth funding Rockstar knowing they won't ever release this as a physical game (digital only title)? Is the Ultimate Edition (in game stores are locked under a real pay-wall) a rip off if you've pre-ordered it being aware of what it offers in return of taking your money?

I doubt it'll flop unless it's a buggy mess like cyberpunk was at launch (which I can't see happening).

I wouldn't say I'm rooting for it to flop. But I am rooting for it to underperform expectations. Personally I bought GTA 5 on PS3 and PS4 then again on PC. I bought it 3 times. This time round I'll only buy it on PC.

I can't justify a new console + game just to play it. How many other people don't have a current gen console and will refuse to buy one for the game? I'm sure there's a couple but I doubt it will be enough to really move the needle.

My current gen console is a steam deck and a PC. I don't see any reason to buy anything else

    I doubt it’ll flop unless it’s a buggy mess like cyberpunk was at launch (which I can’t see happening).

    Even Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't a flop. Despite the controversy in game quality, and nonsense over gender and other stuff. It's actually a huge success, as it sold a lot. And GTA is on another level; on another dimension.

    BTW I purchased GTA 5 twice, once on Xbox 360 at launch and later on PC. We also got a "Remaster" or "Next Gen" version of the game for free too (while being able to still access the old version).

    I also couldn't justify a new console and game just to play it, so I bought a used console. Series Xs didn't even really price spike like PS5s did, I paid $380 for mine. I'll sell it when the game comes out on PC.
