GTA 6 costs £70 but skips the disc completely

Do you remember when video games came in a box with a disc inside? Those days are changing fast.

A big video game company just told us about their new game. The game will cost seventy pounds. That is a lot of money. But here is the interesting part: you cannot buy just a disc anymore.

When you go to a store and buy the physical copy, you will get a box. Inside the box, there is a code. You use this code on the internet. You download the game to your computer or console. You do not get a disc.

Why is this happening? Companies say this is the future. Many people now download games instead of buying discs. Download games are easier. You do not need to put a disc in a machine. You do not need to wait for it to read. You just download and play.

But some people miss the old way. They like to hold a disc. They like to see boxes on a shelf. A disc feels like you own something real. A code is just numbers on paper.

The price is high, too. Seventy pounds is more than before. Games cost fifty or sixty pounds in the past. Now companies want more money. People are not sure they like this.

What do you think? Do you like to buy games in a store? Or do you download games at home? Do you think the price is fair? These questions are important now.
