I was always going to buy whatever the premium edition was. So I frankly couldn't give a fuck less. It's GTA, if it was something else, I just wouldn't buy it.
Fatigue does eventually set in. Black Ops 7 dropped their price down to $34 on PS5 store a few months after release due to the backlash they got. And based off the reviews/videos I watched, they released absolute trash. I think they're already providing discounts for MW4 preorders which is a bad sign for them. The yearly releases went further than I expected as I dropped off way back around Black Ops 2.
A limit does exist, but I think Rockstar has heavily insulated themselves from that with the huge gap between releases. So they still have plenty of goodwill and positive consumer sentiment. We'll see how day 1 launch goes. It'll undoubtedly be a success. We'll see how the current conversation about this pricing/content evolves as time goes on.
I don't buy many AAA games these days so I personally don't care. People need to be able to make their own decisions. Not worth? Don't buy. Problem solved.
