I donāt game, nor do I use Windows or generally install software via random executables (package managers ftw) ā all that to say, ādo AI installation wizards really exist?ā
I mean, generally package managers are hosted by a trusted party that screens execs before making them available. But yeah, still think about where you get your software from.
Thereās a difference between installing from (hopefully) a trusted source and going to some random website and downloading a fucking executable.
And Iām not even getting into fake download ads on Google or the multitude of other problems that come along with this style of software installation.
You know the lady that developed the paint brush design on paper cups didn't make a dollar from it? The company did like an internal contest and she "won"
With the current prices of SSDs it would be one very expensive game. $80 for the base game + ~$80 for a 512gb SSD... Ouch. Though I would 100% buy it for the novelty and just to own a physical copy instead of some randomly generated code.
Blu-ray drives can be expensive, but USB DVD drives are only ~$20.
I'd also expect anyone who would care about the "physical" edition of the next GTA only being a download code in the box would have a disc drive on the device they wanted to install it on.

If they don't yet, I'm certain they will in the near future.

an AI installation wizard is one of those openclaw bots installed on your machine with root permissions and you tell it to install firefox

So a package manager with extra steps? Even windows has a package manager so what's the point of an AI install wizard?

btw āpackage managerā is just a way to categorize your ārandomā execs. plenty of nonsense sneaks in. please still review your exec sources.

That's why the Microsoft store is the best place to get applications on windows./s

Just sell it on an SSD. That way even the regular version is over $100.

Okay how big did they say the game is gonna be? Canāt be more than 200 GB
DataCrime@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 87d
So only 4, 100 packsā¦ and a slot loading drive with a robot arm. We can do this ;-)
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 87d
200 GB / 5 GB = 40
GBThat pack is enough for two copies
Edit: š¤¦

I hope it ships with a dvd drive too, because no one has those any more.

or they just want to complete a collection. even if the physical media contains a code and some map pdfs etc.

I have one that plugs into my PC via USB port. I still listen to my audio CDs with it. I also was ferried to school on the backs of dinosaurs.
