    Grand Theft Auto 6.

    No, its not about car theft.

    Its about Auto-matically recurring payments, Auto-matic agreement to updated TOS that strip your rights and property, Auto-matic dynamic pricing.

    Remember when the GTA series was a cutting critique of US society, caricaturing it?

    The joke is inverted now: You’re the joke, if you’re stupid enough to pay to be robbed.

    It’s why I always buy physical games whenever possible regardless of platform. And I never buy games that require an online connection to play single player. It’s less convenient to switch cards/discs between games, but it’s worth it to be able to keep the games long term as well as the small resale value being a bonus.

    Yawn. Its sony. Who cares.

    Amusing how people have changed the point of that saying, because exactly as written that would be wonderful.
