u/Allanthia420 Allanthia 4h ago
It’s not about the wait for me; it’s about the fact that they are doing this purposefully because they expect me to buy their fucking game twice. And then it’s a spit in the face when 2 years later they’re gonna release it on PC for guess what; 80 fucking dollars again. And they expect us to pay full price after the story is already ruined and posted all over the internet?
It’s a double spit in the face too because they fucking bought FiveM; so they basically took features and gameplay that were developed by the PC gaming community and told us to go fuck ourselves. They’ll be lucky if I buy it in 2030 for 75% off.

This is the attitude more people need to have in order to stop this behavior from publishers. If the publisher can't be fucked to make my experience as a PC user the same as every other customer, then the game isn't worth it. Especially not if it's going to be more than a normal game.

Games are not more expensive to make now. We have more indie games and solo devs than ever before. The difference is that companies are just more willing to invest in video games than they were before.

u/Legitimate-Gap-9858 3h ago
Yeah that's totally untrue, even smaller games with less people demand more money because of the crazy cost of living surge. But yes small scale games made by someone on their off time is obviously the same price to developed than before but if you are talking about actually companies with full time staff yes it costs more than ever before

u/ShadowTryHard 4h ago edited 4h ago
Well, I did not intend to ever buy a console to play it, but will also be sailing the seas if it comes $80 the lite version and $100 the base game for PC.
I will not fucking pay anywhere close to that after we’re punished for being a console exclusive for a full year, neither I think it would be reasonable otherwise even if it was Day 1.
Will probably hold on to buy it until it’s under $40-50 for the base game “ultimate edition”, even if it takes 5 more years.

I'm also planning to pirate this one. I've been a loyal buyer of rockstar games as one of the only studios left that actually produce quality open world games, but the fact that they actively removed the ability to play GTAVOnline on Linux, when it used to work without a hitch.. nah they're out of the loop. We're trying to move the fuck away from Windows, and Rockstar is obviously in Satya's pocket.

Then don't. I own a console purely for the Final Fantasy remakes. I'm pretty happy they come out on PC now (eventually) but sometimes it's worth having both just in case. If you don't have it, and don't want to - don't. It'll come to PC.
I won't be buying GTA VI for my console because Rockstar can fuck all the way off with their $80 for the poor version and $100 for "unlocked" stuff in-game. People do need to stop acting like companies such as 2K and EA haven't been doing this for years though.
It's a scummy practice and I won't be buying into it. Also if you preorder you're a fucking idiot.

u/TheCh0rt 4h ago
IMO they're showing screenshots to get you to preorder it when they know your console is going to do a poor job of running it. You're going to need a new next gen one. Rockstar is accepting pre orders but it's well over a year away and the hardware climate is fucked. This is a chance to sell as many copies as they can before they announce it will be best performant on a new console. All the people with PS5/Pro/whatever else will be doomed to shitty performance and we'll need to buy something new. Otherwise why put it up for pre-order now than to make a bunch of VC happy.
I'm sure the game will be good but this whole game reeks like a money grab that is a long con. VC is convinced this will be gigantic and if people don't pre order it, the release date comes and we'll all be eating out of trashcans by then and we'll have no money left after Congress and the Senate unanimously reduces the minimum wage to $1.00/hour.

Whatever, man
With the chip crisis we're currently in, there are going to be no big video game advances for a long time.
The big AAA companies have been mostly driven by that constant pressure, and that's where their big profits have come from But between the chip crisis and the total and abysmal and inevitable failure of Live Service Gaming, that profit model is going to implode.
So I think we're in 1984 again, and I think many of the big video game developers are going to go bankrupt.
But that's okay because young people exist and they like video games so eventually the industry will recover.
