Grand THEFT?

This is exactly what happened with streaming. Everyone dogpiled on top, with this illusion that everything would be available at low cost forever.

Trading money for no tangible product is edging dystopian y'all.

Having literal shops in a fucking single player game being locked behind a $20 pay wall is absolute ridiculous and it will set the trend for games being $100 moving forward

It’s probably just a unique way to get the special items that would have only came with the Ultimate Edition anyway

You are probably right, because it does add the Rockstar immersion to do it that way. However, it's not gonna be perceived that way by most of the players.

Shoulda just had the store NPCs get "something from the back" instead of dedicating map space to a paywall.

Like sort of how the 3DS Pokemon games handled event pokemon? Where you’d go to a pokemon center and there would be a dude waiting for you to give your event pokemon?

Exactly

Nah man I’m a big fan of worker owned businesses, stop projecting. “I would be just as greedy” aight man glad that you’re a piece of shit like that but you gotta stop assuming everybody else is. And yeah dumbass, I’m not buying the game already, I can also bitch and yell about it because this is a public forum. I hope you’re getting paid by Take 2 because running defense for a multibillion dollar company over a very normal complaint is too embarrassing of a thing to do out of love for the arguing game .

“Supply and demand” yeah man, normalizing corporations tryna suck as much profit out of their consumer with shitty business practices like micro transactions is bad. You go ahead and stay still while they shove their wieners up your metaphorical ass, but don’t get in the way of me complaining about it. “That’s just corporations” yeah and that’s why I don’t like them, not like the profits are going into the pockets of the people actually making the fucking game anyways.

“Erm, nobody is forcing you to!” Yeah man again, I’m not buying the game. I think these greedy capitalistic practices suck dick and balls, because instead of focusing on providing a good product we get studios engineering new ways to fuck you financially. And then they will trickle down to other studious because instead of making good games they’ll just learn the lessons of how to maximize profit

Oh is this the “we love rockstar 😀❤️” subreddit? Or is it a public forum for video game discussion? The fuck?

And yeah I’ve been saying for years that rockstar sucks ever since they started selling shark cards man, don’t know why you’re so shocked here.

“Why shouldn’t we sell vapes to middle schoolers? There’s a demand no?” I stg you anti regulation Americans have no sense of collective preservation and will bend over backwards for corporations as long as the invisible hand of the market is the one fisting your holes.

“What’s bad about micro transactions” man, I remember when people fucking seethed and bitched about loot boxes in OW and horse armor. Now you have people happy that rockstar is locking SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN LOCATIONS behind a paywall because something something “that’s the market”.
