      I don’t game, nor do I use Windows or generally install software via random executables (package managers ftw) — all that to say, “do AI installation wizards really exist?”

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

        btw “package manager” is just a way to categorize your “random” execs. plenty of nonsense sneaks in. please still review your exec sources.

          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.

          There’s a difference between installing from (hopefully) a trusted source and going to some random website and downloading a fucking executable.

          And I’m not even getting into fake download ads on Google or the multitude of other problems that come along with this style of software installation.

      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.

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

      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.

        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.
