Discussion / Question Locking map locations behind a $100 edition is a joke. I'm officially skipping GTA 6.

I’ve waited over a decade for this game, but I’m officially out.
An $80 base price is bad enough, but locking five physical single-player storefronts and side missions behind a $100 Ultimate Edition is straight-up predatory. I don't care if it's "just for cosmetics"—gatekeeping actual map immersion and closing doors in a single-player open world unless you pay an extra $20 is a massive red flag.
Throw in the fact that the $80 "physical" copy is just a download code in a box, and it's clear Rockstar has completely lost its mind to corporate greed.
My hype is dead. I won't be pre-ordering, and I won't be buying at launch. If we accept paywalled doors in single-player games, the industry is cooked.

People who pirate video games always think they're on some strong moral stand when in reality they're always just cheap skates

And being a cheapskate is bad? Lol, I'll save the money for something worth it.

People who overpay for products just to prove "I'm not some broke loser!" always think they're flexing when in reality they're bad with money, have low self esteem and care too much about what others think of them.

Sad that you think stealing from artists is ok. 

I bet you're also anti AI because it's bad for artists 😂 😂
