Over the last couple of weeks, a lot of people have been posting on here about GTA VI not having a physical disc, Sony discontinuing physical disc sales, and more

This has nothing to do with Stop Killing Games

These concerns are fair, I'm not trying to comment on whether they're important or not - but they have nothing to do with the SKG movement, and are starting to spam the subreddit. For the sake of clarity in SKG's message, please stop spamming the sub with these posts/comments

Stop Killing Games is exclusively about the ability to play a game you have purchased indefinitely - it has nothing to do with physical vs virtual ownership, and everything to do with a game becoming unplayable because of the shutdown of a publisher's exclusive server

Rockstar *claims* that GTA VI will be playable offline once it is downloaded - if true, that means *it will be playable indefinitely, even if Rockstar goes out of business*. That's perfect, that is exactly what SKG wants

Having a physical disc will not make a game playable for forever - many games on a physical disc still require an online connection to a central publisher-owned server in order to function; and many physical discs have become entirely unplayable because that central publisher-owned server has been shutdown. There are many, many games you can buy today off of a store's shelf which *will not work* because the central server has been shut down already

SKG does not care about whether the game is virtual or physical, only that it is *playable*. It does not care about customer preference or whether or not a game can still be purchased today, but about *the systematic deletion of decades of gaming culture*. For anyone that wants to fight the fight about physical vs digital, go right ahead, but SKG is not the champion for that particular fight; please stop spamming us about it
