Hard pass on that. Especially since they are selling a code in a box instead of a real physical copy.

    I mean, I bought a physical copy of StarCraft 2 back then and it too had a key and the actual physical part was useless anyway. On the other hand, physical copy of Witcher 3 is still perfectly playable.

    How much is the battle royal monthly battle pass?

    If they actually had a Battle Royale mode, you know that shit'd be F2P and full of FOMO not just to buy stuff for the BR mode, but also trying to get you to buy the full game.

    So it's $100, but you can get most of the game for $80.

    well, I can't say I'm surprised they did, but I can't say it made it any more likely for me to buy the game.

    I already disliked the anti linux approach they did with late GTA 5, and I can't say I was all that impressed as a whole with GTA 5 in regards to the multiplayer first mentality it had.

    Also the fact that they are already advertising GTA+ as part of their preorder bonuses has me on full red alert.

    That's $80 I'll put towards indie devs.

    Yeah fuck off with that bullshit, I’ve waited a long time already for this game. I can fucking wait even longer for the pc port and for that to come down to $20 or less. No way in hell is this game worth $80, not unless it is literally flawless. Meaning no bugs, no battlepass, no other macro transactions, no extra paid dlc. It needs to be the greatest game ever made to even come close to justifying that price tag.

    Oh and how much I am laughing at all those Rockstar sycophants who said they would buy a brand new console just to play GTA VI on release now. Only for them to buy it again when it comes to pc. Still want to pay $500-900 for a PS5 plus an $80 game? Want to justify to your family that that game will be a nearly $600-1,000 purchase in this economy? Yeah they forcing you to sell the console and game the same day you get it.

    Several of those sycophants also had the gaul to tell me that I too would buy a brand new console just to play GTA VI sooner. No buddy, I can stick to my morales and beliefs. I got time to wait for this game to be available where I want it to be, and for it to be a more reasonable price.

    I'm not upset, I'm just disappointed. The general population will enable this behavior.

    Can’t say this affects me bc I was never going to pay more than $20 for it.

    I wish everyone else would hold out with me.

    This is the first $80 digital only base game. Even Mario Kart World had a physical version.

    If my wife is interested in playing it, I'll pay their extortionate price. If not, I'll play it once it's available pirated on PC.

    EDIT: It's rumored there will be an actual physical release in December, so I'll wait and see what's happening with that first.

    I’d be really impressed if the oppressed gaming world finally decided No, and withheld purchases or even bought a bunch of brave indie games releasing that month. Realistically, I’ll admit that’s probably unlikely. A lot of people have been waiting for this for a long time, and have never heard about things like union busting, haven’t followed the brain drain of every major publisher, etc.

    Did GTA 5 get cross platform yet?
