is absolutely a different game with the $80 versus the $100 version.


And my 300hp turbocharged k5 with the gt1 package is a completely different car than the base model with 190HP and no perks. I paid 12K more, yall are bitching about $20. If you're that poor, dont buy any games at all and look at your life choices instead.

But im sure you all pack your own lunches avoiding eaiting out at all costs, never buy anything but gas from convenience stores (especially not nicotine or alcohol), and only drive when absolutely necessary because money is SO tight you can't fork over an extra 20 to a company thats given literal trillions of hours of entertainment to it's players.

Talk about some first world problem bullshite.

The best part is the game doesnt even fricking come out for 5 months but saving that extra 4 dollars a month is way harder than just complaining.

Your average american that whines about having to work, slacks off and takes extra breaks every chance they get, constantly talks about how under paid they are, now wants a company to just give them the entirety of their 15 years of work for one discount rate ove the price of one ribeye steak.

There are plenty of industries im all about holding accountable for profiting too much. This isnt even a molehill much less a mountain to fight over.

Im rooting for yoy guys though. I believe if you believe in yourself and try your best you'll be able to scrounge up that $20 just in time so you can enjoy that extra mission your life would be incomplete without.

Im gonna go to the movie board and read all yalls posts bitching about extended edition and directors cuts resales since youre so concerned with not getting everything everyone has to offer at once. Im sure it will make me find some pearls to clutch as well.

God damn

I don't think this shite is the worst thing in the world, and I will be buying the game

But holy frick, man.

Get that major corporation cock out your mouth, son. The balls need some attention.



Jesus. . .

Could justify any monetization scheme and price with that level of cock gobbelry

$600 base game? Well. . .you didn't expect the Ferrari for the price of a Yugo, did you?

fricking hell

Nobody is that "poor" that $20 matters.

Your analogy is shite. How about if your maxed out K5 could travel on roads that the base model couldn't (it was geofenced out of famous travel destinations unless you paid a fee)? Would you feel the same way?

You're assuming all kinds of bullshite in your post. This debate is about ownership, consumer's rights, and physical product versus a service. It isn't about the $20...

Just so you don't say "that can't happen" there are over 500 movies being deleted from users PS Store accounts THAT THEY PAID FOR AND PURCHASED that are being deleted from the service. Refunds? Nope, not per the terms of service. That is 100% theft.

Legendary said it best, I can surely pay the $20. . .and the game is probably worth more than that. But damn it feels like a skeevy way to treat fans


Exactly. Just charge $100 for the base game. That's what they're doing anyway, they're just pretending they aren't.

The good thing is, I’m not the target audience of these games anymore.

I don’t have the time to play games like this anymore.

I would spend $100 and never complete it.

I’ll stick with my indie games and BG3.

The target audience can’t be that big considering the main character is a non binary Latina

Come on man, understand who you are replying to .


On another side topic, have a 15 year old and they are going to want to play this. Anyone go through that with GTA V?

It's just such a bad argument, the argument about the no disc is legitimate sure. But acting like you're getting ripped off because you'll miss out on a couple extra shops and some side missions that have no factor on the main mission isn't the holk to die on

If this shite came out two months after the game dropped nobody would be making this argument

I am not saying anyone is being ripped off. Nobody is being tricked.

It is skeevy though. And people pretending it isn't, wouldn't be if it was a game NOT by Rockstar. You all know it is kinda gross, you just can't admit it because of this dug in position you are in

You guys have this weird parasocial "Swifty" relationship with Rockstar.

The game's story could all be safe PC bullshite, like the online game, and you cats would form the same shield wall you are doing now.

There is nothing they could do that would garner any real criticism from you guys. Like being on the Poli Board, dealing with MAGA. . .or Obama supporters if you are old enough to remember them.
