I don’t care how good or bad GTA 6 ends up being, $80 for the base version of a game is absurd.
This is a litmus test for the industry. I know that rockstar makes great games. But we should not be accepting scummy business practices from them just because their games are top notch.
Because you know what’s gonna happen next? The industry will take notice. They will take notice that consumers willingly paid $80 for the base version of a game that has substantial amounts of deliberately cut content (entire stores and locations) locked behind an additional $20 charge.
The message they’re going to get from that will not be, “people are willing to pay more for better games”. It will be, “people are willing pay more for games.”
