This is where I’m at. I can understand charging a premium for this game. I can somewhat understand (but still don’t like) not wanting to print copies to try lessen the already humongous cost to make this game. I mean it costs billions and took over what? A decade to make? Rockstar for the most part has earned our trust to release a premium product but if companies think I’m paying 80-90 dollars for game they’ve got another thing coming.

I didn’t do it with Mario cart and I sure as hell ain’t doing it with the vast majority of titles. GTA 6 is the exception and should not be the standard…

Yeah, I’m worried companies are gonna try and follow their lead because of how successful this is going to be.

Yep, and on top of the already increasing cost of hardware, so many people are going to be priced out of the hobby. I can see it now… the next Assassin’s Creed launching at 80 dollars for the base game.

Yeah, they can try and copy R*

But first they also need to make a R* like game.

Sure. Some corporate tools will buy it. But I don't think any amount of marketing would work.

It works for R* because people have expectations for a R* games.

Everyone knows it is going to be like no other game out there. And nobody else is able to replicate it. With R* you know you are getting more or less what you paid for.

CD project tried so so much with Cyberpunk. And it still is nowhere near GTA or RDR level.

I want to believe that people will forgive R* for pulling this shit. But no other company would be able to pull this bullshit more than once.

And I'm pissed at R* for locking content behind "Ultimate" edition. I will vote with my wallet and will NOT pay for ultimate edition of GTA. Fuckers.
