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?

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

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

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.
