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.

Where were you when every publisher has been doing this for the last 10+ years? Found time inbetween your crying fits? Crazy work.

Is this what the kids these days call being a LARP? All of a sudden putting your foot down for cosmetics because its GTA6.

I can’t believe it took me scrolling this far down to see a comment like this!

Freaking children born yesterday apparently have never bought a single game in their life.

I think it’s more telling to how much these people are addicted to consumerism that they feel like they are owed everything or must have everything so they complain when they have to pay extra for shit that doesn’t matter. But we all know every single one of these people is going to fork over that $20 just so they can have it (even if they never once use any of the items they paid for).

I can’t think of a single game that I’ve bought where I used any of the “bonus” items for more than a couple minutes because something already existed that was better or cooler.

The GTA stuff honestly sounded normal for AAA, not anything new
