  • I was just checking around for GTA, and there comes my “future proof”.

    I thought I could get a used copy on DVD. First I checked GTA SA, apparently not usable because modern Windows dropped support for SecuROM which is required, and it probably wouldn’t magically work under Wine either.
    And I’ve found cheap boxed GTA V, except that apparently the activation code is single use, linked to account and non-transferable, so those discs are not very useful.

    With consoles, you can buy a used disc and use it. And it also won’t randomly stop working because the software became “old”.

    For PC, I think this is the case where piracy simplifies things.
