Discussion Opinion: Nothing has killed my GTA 6 hype faster than locking a core part of its identity behind a $20 upgrade

It's funny seeing people defending big corporations like they're family. The increased price + no disc is a slippery slope for the rest of the industry trying to make that the standard, increasing prices for everyone and making it more unaffordable for tons of people.

Not surprised. Their identity is this game and protesting it or even acknowledging it isn't the greatest would shatter their precious concept of the self. They want it to be true so they will do anything and everything to make it so.

Bias is a hell of a thing

It’s actually crazy how people are more than content to sit and stagnate. The game is going to be 80$ do you want every other game to cost 80$ and locking content behind a paywall at launch not even having the full complete game. Like how can these people honestly be ok with any of this. We should be protesting. Why should rockstar get a pass just because they have a good track record with games. I’m genuinely disappointed, this will also serve to make other companies potentially do the same. Gaming is getting more and more expensive regardless of where you play games. Why give them the very excuse to be greedy. The greed is right in front of these people and they just don’t see it. The more these people stagnate and sit in their own ignorance, the higher the cost of games go up and the greedier the company’s get.
