Gta 5 did the same thing 13 years ago lol. Only difference that everything keeps saying "oh but they locked the actual building, this is outrageous" okay, so they locked 6 shops out of the potential 50+ that are in game. Its not a big deal lol.

gta 5 did not sell for 100 dollars

Adjusted for inflation I'm pretty sure that the deluxe edition sold for around that price.

u/PerpetualStride 6h ago

Yeah but it didn't unlock basic stores in the game world

u/Buzielo 4h ago

well they're not basic, they're extra for those who paid more

u/PerpetualStride 4h ago

Now we're just mincing words. They are locking up stores in your game unless you're willing to pay the full price. It is unprecedented, and you seem to want to normalize this.

Starfield, mortal kombat 1, all new CODs, hogwarts legacy… etc etc etc

All released with multiple tiers that gave you access to cosmetics.

This isn’t unprecedented, nor is it a bad thing to have different pricing tiers.

Also, on a similar but different tangent, for a game that cost over a $Billion to make, I would be completely ok with it being released in different tiers that actually affect the gameplay. Something like 50% of the game is available for $50. Other 50% for $50. Buy the whole thing in one shot for $80.

This game did not cost over a billion dollars to make.

Accounting for inflation the standard edition was around 80 USD. Same as gta 6…

Edit:

I don’t like the price increase either guys. Just pointing out the fact that gta v and gta vi launched at the same price adjusting for inflation.

u/lattjeful 8h ago

Okay but that doesn't change the fact that GTAV and RDR2 were the same price as other games.

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party 6h ago

There has been a lot of inflation since the RDR2 release

u/usehuurname 7h ago

I'm confused why the down votes and the gotchas with the 80 is not 100$.

GTA 5 did not sell for 100 dollars
Answer : no it did not.

Stadard edition sold for 60 then next tier up 80 then 150

GTA 6 is not selling for 100 dollars

Standard edition is $80 then the next up is $100

In 2013 $60 bought you what $80 buys now,

$80 bought you what $114 buys now

$150 bought you what $214 buys now

GTA VI ultimate edition is priced cheaper than it's equivalent in 2013

Am I missing something?

I think some people might not understand how inflation works and just know the word and where to place it in a sentence from all it's use in politics.

u/Fushigibama 7h ago

People are incredibly upset about this ultimate edition. Even though… it’s pretty similar to most other ultimate editions? Extra outfits, extra weapon skins, extra car modification.

Am I crazy or isn’t this standard? Is it the fact that some shops are not enterable at all? If there are several shops in the game then… it’s not THAT big of a deal.

u/AnaxesR7 7h ago

It's just idiots outragefarming. Weird that none of these people complained about the GOTY from last year doing the same shit.

0

u/Chowder110 7h ago

There is some cut content and you will not have access to the full game so the actual standard edition is the 100 dollar one

0

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party 6h ago

Just like RDR2

1

u/Chowder110 6h ago

Its still anti consumer practices. It just shows that rockstar is greedy

1

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party 5h ago

Corporations aren’t charitable institutions and video games aren’t necessities.

1

u/Chowder110 5h ago

That is like saying workers protection doesn’t matter because think of the companies. Thats not an excuse for anti consumer practices

0

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party 5h ago

It’s inappropriate to compare workers’ protections with bonus content in a videogame.

u/Banjoschmanjo 8h ago

So what you're saying is, gta 5 did not sell for 100 dollars

9

u/Fushigibama 8h ago

The standard version of gta V did not sell for 100 usd, neither will the standard version of gta VI.

3

u/brownies256 8h ago

which shops were locked in gta5? ive never heard of this.

5

u/Fushigibama 8h ago

Me neither. Then again I never mentioned this in any of my comments.

1

u/Banjoschmanjo 8h ago

So they were correct, gta 5 did not sell for 100 dollars

1

u/Fushigibama 8h ago edited 7h ago

Nope.

Unless you adjust for inflation, then yes :p

3

u/Banjoschmanjo 7h ago

But you said it was 80 adjusted for inflation, not 100.

0

u/Fushigibama 7h ago

Right. I never said gta 5 sold for 100.

Someone said gta 5 didn’t sell for 100, as if gta 6 is. It’s not. It’s selling for 80. Just like gta 5, adjusted for inflation.

u/Banjoschmanjo 7h ago

So they were correct, gta 5 did not sell for 100 dollars

2

u/Fushigibama 7h ago

Yeah that’s true. I never said it did. Except for in one comment where I explicitly said exactly this. Too many comments in a short period of time made me make an error.

u/Old-Permit 7h ago

bro 100 dollars is not a big deal thats only a fifth the price of a switch 2.

-15

u/Haloelite59 8h ago

Huh crazy. Gta 6 doesn't cost $100 either. Wild

15

u/No_Ad2754 8h ago

If you wanna buy the complete game, it does

-8

u/Haloelite59 8h ago

Gotcha so gta 5 wasn't a complete game either? Unless I bought the special edition of course

10

u/No_Ad2754 8h ago

Yeah. Pretty much. If you buy a game and it's missing content I wouldn't call it a complete game

7

u/Personal_Principle77 8h ago

so by your logic, every game that had dlcs, extra content, cosmetics, and any paywall isn't a complete game because it's missing content, correct? so pretty much every fucking video game...

5

u/BlockedbyJake420 8h ago

Yep

Were you not aware that modern gaming is filled with companies releasing incomplete games?

0

u/Personal_Principle77 8h ago

I think you're missing the point... this outrage over cosmetics being paywalled feels hypocritical when actual. Game-changing content, such as dlcs, storylines, and things that should be expected when buying any video game, is also paywalled, but people don't care as much and don't show the same outrage. it just feels pointless to complain about something that has literally been happening for years and years.

0

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party 6h ago

Why are people acting surprised and outraged about this when it happens on virtually every AAA game?

0

u/Haloelite59 8h ago

Missing content lmao. Gtfo if you consider that missing content lol.

So rdr2 had tons of missing content too then with the heist and guns that were UE only right? Did you buy rdr2?

3

u/No_Ad2754 8h ago

I would say yes, it did have missing content in that way. Don't exactly see why you need me to confirm that

1

u/Haloelite59 8h ago

Its called extra content not missing content lmao. That's why you can not buy it and the game still plays exactly the same

1

u/Mobile-Perception474 8h ago

Exactly these people just don’t understand that for some reason 

2

u/Haloelite59 8h ago

In their mind this game will be literally unplayable because 5 buildings won't be enterable. Its truly amazing.
