No, see, you include a disk but all that disk has on it is the installer for the launcher with a “download gta6” command thrown on the end.
This is nowhere near the first “doesn’t contain a disk” game and choosing gta as the one to throw a fit over feels performative. This has been a thing for over a decade.
The issue isn’t that the game doesn’t fit on one disc. The issue is that without a disc, the games can’t be resold, rented, or lended. The disc is effectively a DRM check.
Unless the entire game is provided, then it will always be a DRM check. If they’re just providing data for a preliminary download, then the buyer is still left to rely on being give access to download the rest of the data.
Considering the size of the game, it would need at least 3 discs. Doubt they’re gonna redesign every case to accommodate that.
TDK had 320GB BluRays ready in 2009. I don’t think GTA VI will need more than that.

A bluray can hold 100 GB. They could fit it on one if they only put low resolution textures on the disk and made the high res textures a download.
I think previous GTA games have come on multiple discs. Possibly as far back as vice city.
You might notice I didn’t say it was impossible to do so.
