Thanks to the hype, it’s now $80 for the incomplete version and $100 for the real version. I would’ve bought it new for $70 since that’s apparently the new normal price, but I’m not greenlighting $80 or $100 video games. GTA VI will probably still be wildly successful and just like that, every other publisher will start selling $80-$100 games from then on. Thank God for indie games and steam sales I guess.
Well.. if you're in the US, sure. But think of it from the perspective of other countries with different currency rates.. I live in malaysia, $70 is already RM283. With $80, it now gets to RM323. Basically RM50 difference. And where I come from thats a huge amount.
Also to OP's point, its the principal; in the 2000s, it used to be $50. Then it increased to $60, and people already had a problem with it. Now its $70 going $80. Its a slow increase, so it makes sense to feel like "its not that much", but if you look back, it was an 80% increase from $50.
For me personally $100 is not a lot of money to drop. Like that shit is change especially for a one time investment.
I can’t speak for everyone else, but we have to play the cards we’re dealt
I understand that but when you don’t have a choice, there’s no point in literally being mad about some shit you can’t change. I’m not saying it’s right though
