Hard pass on that. Especially since they are selling a code in a box instead of a real physical copy.
I mean, I bought a physical copy of StarCraft 2 back then and it too had a key and the actual physical part was useless anyway. On the other hand, physical copy of Witcher 3 is still perfectly playable.
“back then”
2010… only a couple years before GTA V came out. We were well into the digital era by then.
That’s $80 I’ll put towards indie devs.
How much is the battle royal monthly battle pass?
Can’t say this affects me bc I was never going to pay more than $20 for it.
I wish everyone else would hold out with me.
GTA 5 burned me on them, my 20 quid will still depend on reviews and if they are doing anything shitty at the time. I expect them to change the deal after the first 6 months at this point.
See you in 10 years then.
well, I can’t say I’m surprised they did, but I can’t say it made it any more likely for me to buy the game.
I already disliked the anti linux approach they did with late GTA 5, and I can’t say I was all that impressed as a whole with GTA 5 in regards to the multiplayer first mentality it had.
Also the fact that they are already advertising GTA+ as part of their preorder bonuses has me on full red alert.
I’m not upset, I’m just disappointed. The general population will enable this behavior.
This is the first $80 digital only base game. Even Mario Kart World had a physical version.
If my wife is interested in playing it, I’ll pay their extortionate price. If not, I’ll play it once it’s available pirated on PC.
EDIT: It’s rumored there will be an actual physical release in December, so I’ll wait and see what’s happening with that first.
I’m only going to be getting it because I’ve got a 14 year old son. You get it
it’s ok, i can wait for the crack, then.
I’d be really impressed if the oppressed gaming world finally decided No, and withheld purchases or even bought a bunch of brave indie games releasing that month. Realistically, I’ll admit that’s probably unlikely. A lot of people have been waiting for this for a long time, and have never heard about things like union busting, haven’t followed the brain drain of every major publisher, etc.
Guess I’ll be buying from fitgirl
Did GTA 5 get cross platform yet?
Is this a AAAA game?
it’s an AAAAAAAAAAAA game
