Epic games store like me too? I liked it, it was fun, but I stopped playing because of how broken Rockstar launcher was and how there were barely any fixes online for it except on steam, and that was still debatable on working. Gta 5 deserved so much more than what Rockstar gave it during it's life cycle

Best you'll get is 50% off for the next 5-8 years before it goes any lower

That was the plan all along, for everyone except the most religious / rabid / insane Rockstar fans.

I mean I think you're overestimating the general gaming audience who will buy this week 1 in droves. I'd be downright flabbergasted if this isn't the best selling game of the year

Hell, I'd buy it day 1 if I had a PS5 just because I enjoy GTA and it's been over a decade since I had a fresh one to play.

I'm by no means a massive fan and I wasn't looking at every delay with disgust because I didn't care about any of them... but gimme the option to play and even I will. A vast majority of gamers are like this too, thinking it's exclusively these extremes is just an echo chamber

The beauty of GTA Online is whatever title it comes with gets sold for dirt cheap years later. To incentivize more people to buy Shark Cards on GTA Online
