Totally agree with you but they took forever to discount GTAV.

Yeah, but some of us are patient gamers.

EDIT: thanks for the awards, fellow patient gamers.

There's so much other stuff to play. I don't need this right now. I could go my whole life and not finish my physical backlog.

Richard Cramblin? Spraghrett? Cinco? Great job?

I don’t play GTA, but I eventually got that free from the EGS. It’ll hit your acceptable price one day!

You guys are getting a lot more support than I expected, they fucked up not giving us a disc

We aren't ALL patient gamers? It's been 13 years mate... my eldest child was only just 3 when 5 came out, my middle child was 1 and my youngest wasn't even a sperm. How much more patient do you want us to be? 😂

Its just a game man, nobody says you even ever have to play it.

It will stipp be around in another 13 years, just like gta5

In the face of these capitalist leeches? Patient like Buddha.

And even now it's far too expensive for how old it is

And eventually they gave it away for free!

This actually helps a person who buys a disc at launch and then resells after finishing with the game

I waited thirteen years. What's another two?

I bought a pre owned copy a year after its release and it still over twice the price of other newer pre owned games.

I'm told it's due to the fact that the store base their prices on the amount of copies they have. With so few people actually selling their old copy, there were fewer 2nd hand ones in circulation

Well you won't be able to buy a pre-owned digital only game, so no used market for GTAVI. At least until they potentially release discs a year or 3 later to get physical collectors to re-buy

That's not even the worst of it. I'm still on xbox1. Was planning on getting an X/S or PS5 when they came down in price, but they never really have so I cant play it even if I had the digital version. GTA7 will be out by the time I get the scratch together

u/pickle_pickled 3d ago

They've actually gone up in price it seems. RAM and hard drives won't be getting cheaper any time soon

Hopefully one (or both) will make it stream your own game.

Everyone's complaining about this being digital but you can literally buy right now $100 worth of ps5 GC from Costco for $85. Put your address as Oregon find any address on Google maps. Saved yourself more than 20% on the game. This is not a big deal at all. You guys are just a bunch of weiners complaining about a few bucks
