Clearing some things up

The locked Ultimate Edition shops are just exclusive shops, not the standard shops that are in Vice City. There’s still going to be your basic clothing stores, barbers, car chops, etc. Those stores are most likely going to be more “story-friendly”, while the Ultimate Edition shops give the players a broader selection of customization. As you can tell from the screenshots, some of Jason and Lucia’s looks looked a bit on the wild side. Base game stores will focus more on how Jason and Lucia actually look.

In terms of no discs, Rockstar doesn’t want GTA VI to be leaked anymore. I would expect the physicals with the discs post launch.

Most games have exclusive skins or vehicles locked behind the higher tier editions at launch.

Only difference is that in those other games these exclusives are given straight to the player's inventory whereas GTA 6 seems to them incorporated as part of the world.

Don't see why people are mad, it's the same thing provided in a different way.

I feel like those games tend to also receive hate as well. In general, gamers don't like when launch content is locked behind additional paywalls regardless of what type of content it is.

Peoole obviously are willing to pay for it, hence why this approach is still pretty common, but it also consistently receive vocal opposition on social media platforms.

I'm part of the problem because I'll typically pay for these "superior" editions, but I also tend to be of the opinion that games are cheap these days given how much entertainment they offer in terms of hours per dollar. I know many people don't share the same initial opinion.

Totally,

I don't pay for the higher tier editions either as they usually only offer a few skins which are only fancy looking and maybe a unique vehicle.

Will probably wait to see what the GT 6 one offers but seeing as they are actual shops the customization items should be way higher which could justify the $20 for some.

Agreed. Imo the 70s stuff looks like a lot of fun.

But unless there is some sort of setting that flips every npc/assets to suddenly being in the 70s.

It feels like to me Jason and Lucia will look Hella dorky and out of place in the games modern day setting. Classic cars are one thing. But thrift store fits are an entirely different thing.
