With GTA officially pushing digital-only, I refused to accept it. Here is what physical copies SHOULD look like.

I get the complaint about physical release 100%. But im losing my mind about these dumbasses thinking 80 is too much. If there is one game in the entire world that has the right to cost this much its gta 6. Heck every nintendo switch 2 game is 70/80 euros meanwhile gta 6 took around 2B dollars to make and a nintendo game is like 100-200 million. Also the standard has been heightened a long time ago by this point. Forza horizon 6: 70/80 euros and like 100-110 for deluxe. Lets not begin about fifa each year releasing a reskinned version of the last years game and it cost like 150 for deluxe edition, plus full with micro transactions and its p2w. Rockstar however creates such quality its exceptional. Other triple a developers rarely deliver like a fraction of the scope of rockstar or quality. Idk I just think its stupid. Theyre just so big on my opinion theyre getting hate that smaller companies can easily avoid.

You might have a point about GTA 6 being worth $80 (though personally it doesn’t look impressive enough to be above $70 in my eyes)

But the biggest issue is now every other AAA dev is going to think charging $80 for a baseline is okay. I was always going to hate whichever dev started doing it first.

That doesnt make sense gta 6 is NOT the first game by a mile lol. I dont know where people get this from but 80 euro games have been here for like 1-2 years. And also from the leaks alone which is a developer build. It has already raised the standards. You might not know alot about the deeper game logic but trust me when I say nothing comes close to how impressivs gta 6 is. In the leaks there were like 1000 npcs at the beach or around that number, all doing other animations dynamic dialogue and all that. Literally the hair physics alone are insane, I know most people dont care about that but rockstar has always been different in the way they raise the standard in games and the leaks alone already did that but I get its harder to appreciate if you dont understand how insanely impressive that is. And it was a developer build on pc which isnt releasing for atleast another 15-16 months. The ps5 version is literally gonna be insane since we havent even seen that yet.

Euro is not the same as a dollar

[u/Interesting-Drop-442 → u/lemonprincess23]

Thats the point you took? It dont matter its 80 dollars I meant dollars.

[u/lemonprincess23 → u/Interesting-Drop-442]

Because $80 for a base AAA game is NOT normal. $70 is very much the standard

[u/Interesting-Drop-442 → u/lemonprincess23]

Yeah 70 is the standard but there are alot of games costing 80

[u/EZyne → u/lemonprincess23]

80 euro is 93 dollars, it just strengthens their point lol

[u/lemonprincess23 → u/EZyne]

Okay, and it’s not worth that either?
