    Single player only is a plus, not a problem.

    GTAV has a ton of shit in game trying to force you online. Stuff like businesses you could only buy online advertised in game.

      You missed that onr being a multi line statement. The issue is the paywall in a Singleplayer game. Basically just another 20€ day 1 DLC.

        Okay, but if I look at literally any game on Steam or PS store every single game has “Standard Edition” “Deluxe” “Full on Simp” options.

          “It’s cool if they’re shitty because everyone else is shitty”

            No, my point is everyone is making a huge stink about GTA6 as if Rockstar are dragging the industry into the shit, but it is all the same shit as every other game on the market.

            Was anyone actually expecting anything different?

              There is a lot of copium being huffed that someday a publisher will do the Biggest Game Ever in a fair way finally, and show the greedy hogs that it can be done and be profitable.

              The tanks are low and the traps are full. You’ve already been captured and you are in a prison, and to some degree it’s of our own collective making.

                BG3 does a pretty good job here. Big release, the upsells were all art books and stuff, with a few callback items you get as a premium.

                But I’m not surprised Rockstar, after milking GTA5 online for a decade, are not the champions of consumer equity.

    Ironically I was going to buy a PlayStation for GTA 6. Now with digital only on both… Literally why would I? I’ll wait a year and buy the “rental” for my PC.

    Not to defend them because I think it is a bullshit move, however, didn’t GTAV also release first on consoles?
