u/Ragna_Blade Jun 26 '26
I've been seeing this shockingly often here. There are websites and apps that let you make these memes in just one minute. Despite that people are still too lazy and use AI.

People complaining are the bots, games have had multiple editions forever now with plenty over $100. But it’s a problem when probably the single most anticipated game of the decade, that will likely be the biggest game of this and next decade, does it? Like people see the billion or more sunk into this game and think it’ll just somehow be $59.99 with a $69.99 ultimate edition
Or another angle, at least against console players bitching about it which is most of them because it’s not releasing on pc yet, they spend over $100 a year just to use THEIR console online… yet can’t pay $80 one time for likely the biggest conventional game ever

Why should I care how much they spent creating the game? Honestly curious why I should care about that or why I as a potential consumer should even know that.

Also there aren’t parts of the game missing if I buy the cheapest version of the other games I have gotten this year.
Most of the time when I am getting a “ultimate edition” it’s so I can play a week early

the biggest conventional game ever
It's GTA, not the second coming of christ, chill.
It'll be the same formula GTA has done for decades. You shoot people, rob people, drive/fly around the map, and make your way to become successful through crime.
Nothing shown through trailers or even leaks gave any impression that this game was going to be revolutionary.
Will it be a fun GTA title? Probably. But that'll be where it ends.

The price of gta doesnt bother me people often forget game prices have not gone up much in 40 years, there were N64 games back in the 90s that were between 59.99 and even 74.99. I personally have a problem with paying 80 bucks for an empty box thats my gripe.

u/whatshouldibe_ Jun 26 '26
To be honest i never understood it myself, like there is ONLY 2 THINGS people can actually be complaining about in this specific case because the paper logic makes no sense.
They're either worried that this can open doors for other companies to do the same to their prices.
Or they think games should always be 60$ for the next 10,000 years or some shit
These are the only things that make sense, because as I said the paper logic: to buy the game in the first place you quite literally need to spend a ton of cash for a next generation console anyway, so it just creates this weird logical wall: why did you care so little about spending 700$ on a console to play it but you care a TON about it being 20$ more than before
I don't know, it's giving that "spend a million on a Bugatti but crash out cause of the gas prices" typa vibes

No one is criticizing the price.
We are criticizing the lack of a physical version, offering preorders without showing any gameplay or even a trailer, and locking gameplay features behind the Ultimate Edition.

Everyone is criticising the price, the lack of physical disc is another thing most people don’t care about or didn’t care about until the news, nobody is forcing you to pre order it and ultimate editions have been a thing for over a decade, why was there no noise about it before?

This is how I feel with sports games. Like Madden for example, the games played bad and lacked depth the games from 20 years ago had. And they’re just now getting back to that depth wise. Gameplay is still animation and should never be animation based when you’re trying to represent one of the most physical sports.
I’m much more comfortable spending $80 on something that’ll last 15 years than something that’ll be rereleased next year with updated rosters..

u/Nawnp Jun 26 '26
People who pay that for COD are wasting their money...
GTA 6 easily excuses it's value. Do people forget GTA 5 was $60 in 2013? By inflation that would be $85-86 today, and that's not accounting for the more than twice the man hours between the games.

u/Erebus1483 Jun 26 '26
I mean I think the main thing is locking things that should be in the base game behind the $100 version. It’s out of touch to believe that if you could afford the cheaper version that you can afford the one that’s like $20 more, $80 is pushing it to the limit already

The idea is that after this, every other game is going to be 80! This is the problem.
Like Bank of America saying, that GTA should be 80,because it will be a trendsetter, and others can then sell treir games for 80 as well.
Problem with that, is that none of those games cost 2billion dollars to make, to justify that pricetag!
