Isn't it weird that we can pre order it even though we still haven't gotten a gameplay trailer?
When you buy the standard edition of GTA6, Lamar stands outside the shops and just roasts you for being poor.
GAMERS, we’re fucked.
To quote Yahtzee Croshaw in his review of Spider-Man all the way back in 2018: "By "Deluxe Edition", what you meant was "Intact Edition", "Unbutchered Edition", "Edition That Wasn't Picked Apart on the Surgeons' Table by Dr. Nickel and Dr. Dime"!" AAA corpos gonna corpo I guess.
The free month subscription to GTA+ which is included in the ultimate edition also auto renews, don’t forget that
This is the most depressing gaming week I've seen in a while.
"Vote with your wallet" I do, but it doesn't really work when 100x more people are just willing to throw money at the same thing
"Company investing huge money in the reason hardware prices are going up, shocked at raising hardware price for the third time" ... can't make this stuff up 🤦♀️
I appreciate the framing as "to get the full game you have to pay $100, or a discounted $80 version with less content" rather than the other way around
I've waited a long time for this game, I can wait even longer for a sale
i'll get gta 6 the same way i got gta 5... 5 years after launch for 10 euro at a steam sale
A very positive score on Steam for getting swindled for 20 bucks by a racing game. Man at some point the consumer needs to take some personal responsibility. I’m not a fan of big corporations by any stretch but when you’re that easy to be taken advantage of, you can’t really blame them for taking advantage of you.
F the gaming industry. In a world of $100 videogames and $1000 .5tb consoles without controllers, I'm saving for a house and playing gran turismo 7 on a ps4.
Went from selling cosmetic packs to entire physical stores an their catalogue in game
"Component crisis" like it's a natural disaster and not AI companies ruining everything. god I hate this.
You are the first person I have seen talk about the Steam Machine that isn’t surprised about the price. It’s like noone else was paying attention until they released the price and then act like they expected it to be lower. If you payed any attention to the current market, you would have known it would be at least $1000. Just look at PS and XBOX.
Why has the month of June been so polarizing? Started off great with the summer showcases, got kinda weird in the middle, and just ended in pure chaos with Bungie, GTA6, Xbox price increases, Steam Machine and maybe even more to come.
Very based explanation of the GTA 6 pricing situation, that's exactly what it truly is, a hundred dollar full game with a lite version at eighty
those data centers arent burning faster enough
In Brazil the ultimate edition costs almost half of our minimum wage
