I’d be surprised if their code was any better this time around. And the previous round it was rather simple to spawn in your own in game money, defeating their entire business plan.
I also wonder if vibe coding will contribute to their foot gun.
Comment on GTA 6 will cost £70 - and physical edition will not contain a disc

Does anyone remember when they said digital games would reduce prices?
For them… never seen them go down for us.
Look at GTA 5 sales. Just wait for a deep discount. The initial price is just for the whales. Paying full price does not get you a perpetual discount on the shark cards or whatever they’re called. You still gotta pay full price for those. The purpose of the game is to sell those online currency cards. The initial price is just for those who want in sooner. I’m willing to wait a year or two, get it at deep discount (or buy it used), play the single player campaign, and then never touch it again.

I’ll never spend more than 20 quid on a game.

I’m not sure how you plan on doing that with the “physical edition” being a digital download code in a box. And, that’s probably the point—to drive more sales by eliminating the used game market.
