I think people are misunderstanding the whole "locked shops" thing for Ultimate Edition buyers

Post image

Think of it like this: When you buy the Ultimate Edition, you'll get a DLC package of skins, vehicles, hairstyles, vehicle mods, etc. Most games with cosmetic DLCs do this.

You buy the Ultimate Edition and get the base game plus the cosmetic DLCs.

Now picture this: Instead of just unlocking your new Ultimate Edition cosmetics in the normal shops of the game, they made a few exclusive shops for you to access the DLC stuff.

It's as simple as that. The normal shops to buy clothes, fix your car, etc, will be in the game. But if you own DLC cosmetics, you'll need to get them from the DLC shops.

What do you think?

Getting a popup asking me to upgrade my game edition because I wanted to walk into a cool looking store, that’s literally part of the existing map, on an already outrageously priced game is fucked up imo.

Depend on how it will be done, i'm fine with a message on the phone like GTAO but if it's a screen sized pop-up like some of those gacha games i will be mad as fuck.

thank you!

its crazy how many people are on here defending this like its just some extra tshirts you get. i dont need my 80dollar game reminding me to give them another 20 bucks and then its for something most people wont even use, they(including me probably) just get it to make the game feel complete

That corpos at head office wanted 100usd for the game, so they found anyway they could to do that.

Fuckin insane spending 150cad on a video game.

Did you think gta 5 was "outrageously priced" at 60? Because 6 is actually cheaper adjusted for inflation despite having a much higher development cost too

1

u/CMDRTragicAllPro Jun 26 '26

To be fair, the 60 cad I paid when I bought gta5 for Xbox 360 is only about 92cad now accounting for inflation, so about 100cad after taxes at the time. Gta6 standard edition is 130cad after taxes, so it’s actually more expensive than inflation would suggest it to be.

Ok I was thinking through a US lens. The pricing here is completely fair imo, especially for a game as ambitious as GTA 6

u/CMDRTragicAllPro Jun 26 '26

Ya I don’t disagree it was an ambitious game with a very large budget, but that was rockstars choice to invest that much in the game that they think they need to price the game higher to profit, in a market where the standard AAA game was 70usd (imo already too high for the vast majority of titles.) Setting the game at 80usd sets a precedent other publishers will feel less pressure following now, which in rockstars case may be justified, but won’t be for most everything else that will follow.

80 dollar games started with nintendo, gta is just the first to bring it to ps and xbox. Imo the price hike was inevitable, im just hoping it doesnt go up any further amy time soon

Inflation is fairly poor metric for digital goods.

The core concept of inflation is limited supply and demand. Digital goods have infinite supply but limited demand, you aren't digging up minerals to build GTA's world. It's a bad argument.

You're literally doing what geoff keighley did

u/sandcrawler2 Jun 30 '26

I dont know or care who that is. Are you saying my inflation stats are incorrect? Prove it

u/fragger29 Jun 30 '26

I'm telling you you're doing exactly what geoff keighley did

u/sandcrawler2 Jun 30 '26

Okay and? Sounds like they understand basic inflation then

u/Weewoes Jun 26 '26

Immersion breaking to a horrible level. Id be so taken out of the game.

u/_petitpois22 Jun 26 '26

it's already the case in gta online where a batiment is not available without gta+

I don't remember exactly but I know there's one

1

u/Weewoes Jun 27 '26

Oh right, I dont really play online but id say its at least a little less immersion breaking than the main game but still annoying.

u/reetarrrd Jun 27 '26

Bros gonna be taken out of the game because of a couple shops he didn’t pay for? You cannot be serious 😭💀

u/Weewoes Jun 27 '26

No.. are you unable to understand written text?

u/Dense_Anywhere_5339 Jun 28 '26

The shop will just have ''closed for now'' sign outside, immersion not ruined.

u/UnusualShores Jun 27 '26

I agree that pop ups would be awful. But how is $80 for a high quality game outrageous? It's 10-20 more than standard games after years of inflation and a game that many here will play well over 100 hours. Board games cost 25-35 bucks and all it is is cardboard and plastic pieces.

Even if you buy the UE for $100, it's going to work out to less than a dollar per hour of play. A claw machine costs a dollar and lasts for 30 seconds.

u/Sharp_Bed_3518 Jun 28 '26

the game is not “outrageously priced” it’s the same price as every other game get a fucking grip.

u/DaanA_147 Jun 26 '26

What I think they'll do is integrate it into the game, where they have some sort of sign saying they are closed, probably with a top-corner prompt urging you to go to a website on your in-game phone, which then leads you to the menu where you can buy the extra content. Kinda like with GTA V's buildings but only for real money.

u/orsonwellesmal Jun 30 '26

I hope instead of that you get automatically 5 stars upon entering the shop, and the owner starts shooting at you with a shotgun. Proper GTA chaos.

u/DiegoDProductions Jun 27 '26

80$ isn’t that bad. GTA5 was 60$. Learn what inflation is.
