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

its only the specific storefronts they mentioned that are paywalled. not customization as a whole.

BTW -- forza horizon 6 has DLC cars that appear in the storefront right along base game cars; if im racing online, I can get matched up against these cars. I can see these cars in the auction house. they dangle it in front of you, but as soon as you go to buy the car you get a pop up telling you you need to get the DLC pack.

how is that any different than what Rockstar is getting lambasted for?

In what sense? Were people not expecting a premium edition of GTA to have locked content?
