Raavi Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Same should apply to V, if you're willing to spend the extra buck, fine you get the content exclusive, if not sad day for you. Yet from a business prospective this is pointless. These editions are not avaible all the time and the same apply to the pre orders. Once they are out of the way the DLC will be avaible to everyone to make more money otherwise it would be sat there doing nothing. I'm merely stating my viewpoint as customer, when I pay double the price of the original product I expect to also purchase with this the 'exclusive rights' to the content. I rather have exclusive access to said content than have it release later down the pipeline, at a lower price point for everyone. I'm rather fond of exclusive items really, the resale value of them alone often times justifies investing the extra bucks. Now from a business perspective It'd be better to make them exclusive or at least for the foreseeable future, as that would add a lot incentive to the purchase of the premium edition. Resulting in more revenue. @Buffaloro I disagree, as I said making it exclusive to CE customers adds a boatload of incentive to go out and purchase this edition. Simply to ensure they get all the content GTA V has to offer. Edited May 29, 2013 by Raavi – overeducated wonk who fetishises compromise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambo3500 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Everyone doesn't have $150 to spend on a video game sadly ... Let the collectors have their hats . But in game stuff should be allowed for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanOfFlorance Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Quite selfish of you. You're buying CE for the hat and bag. The other stuff is just there to try and get others to buy it. Tbh everything digital in the CE and SE should be availible to everyone. Exactly. Some people just don't have the money to buy CE or even SE and you just say they don't deserve the content? I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. That's life! You pay more you get more. If it was only physical content would you also be angry? Probably not, so whats the difference with digital content? You are still getting the full game in the standard edition, but if you pay more you can get some additional content (both physical and digital content that is). I'm not paying twice the amount for a normal game just to get the 3 extra vehicles. I don't care about the physical goodies, people who do care about them buy the CE. I'm only interested in the digital content. We're not angry at Rockstar, it's just the way the op talked about people not deserving stuff for not buying CE that pisses us off. To be honest if Rockstar asked 10 euros for the 3 vehicles as DLC I would still buy it. Seems like a fair enough price compared to the CE. Should be 5 euros at max, but then the CE owners wouldn't be happy. You guys are quite selfish sometimes. Well if you do not think it is worth it then don't buy it, that is your right! This is not some EA scheme where you have to pay £5 each time you want to unlock something extra from the game, this is R* giving people who pay extra some extra content. I don't think the OP says that some people don't deserve it, but it is more worrying that the collectors edition is not so special after all. I really don't see why that is selfish, no one yet is excluded from buying the SE or CE. It's collectors for a reason, only those who truly love the game to pay £120 for it deserve that content, I truly love GTA, but in no way am I stupid enough to pay 70 euros extra because I want an extra bit of digital content and will just stuff the physical items in one of my closets to never be seen again. That's throwing away money and it isn't the time to throw money away. I'm buying SE, which is 80 euros in my country, because I want the game, the digital content included with the SE and the physical map included with the SE. Those are all things I'm willing to pay 20 euros extra for. If there was another edition that included everything from the SE and all the digital content from CE I would be willing to pay 90 euros, but if I bought the CE I would be throwing 50 euros away that I could spend in much better ways.

But I don't even like the idea of paying for dlc when a game is released... too much of a gimmick. I know they are a business trying to make money, but the codes for the cars,tattoos, and other dlc are probably in the game already and just need the access code to use. The only dlc that I don't mind is dlc for pre-orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrskalle Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Rockstar´s response: Dear self-entitled douche-bag. Take your sh*tty opinions and shove them up your ass. We will release whatever the hell we want, when we want, and we couldn´t care less about your stupid time-wasting emails. In case you didn´t know, we are a company, and the sole purpose of a company is to make money. Please get back to us(not) if and when you get a clue. With wishes of HIV infection, Rockstar.

tenpennyisplainevil Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 That's unbelievably selfish... Why is it a problem to you if the content would be available later for a small fee? It's like you're proud to be a CE owner, as if it shows you have more money or are this awesome guy that has stuff others shall never have. In a nutshell: pathetic self-centered bastard who thinks he's above non CE owners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it is not overpriced, but what you want simply doesn't exist as of this moment. It is a package deal now and just because you like somethings from it and dislike other stuff in it should not mean everything should be sold individually. You can disagree with R*'s decision to make this package deal but don't call someone selfish just because he wants what he pays for (exclusive digital and physical content that is).

I'm thinking the same way is you. But I can understand the OP that if you spend all this money for the DLC that he worries that he can pick it up at launch for waaayyyy cheaper, I don't think that is selfish of him. Like what I said earlier if you buy the standard edition you still get to enjoy the full game and in case of GTA that is a lot of content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiliGTAFan Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Now from a business perspective It'd be better to make them exclusive or at least for the foreseeable future, as that would add a lot incentive to the purchase of the premium edition. Resulting in more revenue. @Buffaloro I disagree, as I said making it exclusive to CE customers adds a boatload of incentive to go out and purchase this edition. Simply to ensure they get all the content GTA V has to offer. That's exactly why they are passing it off as "exclusive" digital content - to attract customers towards spending the £120 CE. However, from a business perspective, making the content available for everyone else (eventually) would definitely result in higher revenue as, like wwinterj said, the content would just 'be sat there doing nothing.' In any case, the extent to which the content is truly "exclusive" wouldn't really matter as they would've gained customers from the snob effect anyway. By increasing the availability of the dlc after a while, they would gain more revenue and also please many of the 'more thrifty' GTA fans. Buyers of the CE would have had the benefits of early access, whereas others would also get to enjoy the content (albeit at a much later date). Everyone should be happy!

Leafy Hollow Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Only thing I really don't like is the 25% increase in regeneration for special ability's. That is a GAME CHANGER and gives you a pretty nice edge, hopefully it's just like everything else and will be available in the games own upgrade system.

Lunatic100 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 What I said to them - So I see that there is some ingame stuff being offered with the collectors/special edition, please for the love of your reputation don't make it available later on. It's collectors for a reason, only those who truly love the game to pay £120 for it deserve that content, even with a GOTY edition don't put that stuff in, just add new stuff. I hope you consider this. Their response - Currently, the only way to guarantee access to the digital content from the Collector’s Edition or Special Edition of the game is to pre-order or purchase those specific versions. We hope you’re looking forward to getting your hands on the game on September 17th. Cheers, Rockstar Games The way they say currently scares me a bit as if they have intentions to make it available later on. What do you guys think? Where the f*ck do you get the balls to tell them how they should sell their product? See people like you and majority of people on here is why i absolutely HATE this forum and the fans. When the game comes out I SWEAR im never returning to you f*ckin bastard kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKalashnikov Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) If the digital content is made available later on the rest will still be collector's edition, right? Maybe that's enough to satisfy your need for exclusivity. Everyone being able to play the "full" game, whenever that may be would personally make me happier. If you love the game so much you want to have all of its content and weren't in a position to grab a collector's edition at the time, then it'd be great if it's DLC as well. Can always wear the hat while you play the game? Edited May 29, 2013 by AKalashnikov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3ex2 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It's pretty obvious they plan to release it later on. Means more money for them. They make it available in the SE/CE then say "currently, the only way to get it is to buy this!" It will give people an incentive to hand over more money. If they come out and say "nah, don't worry you'll be able to buy it later!" Then nobody is gonna pay £65/120. Well at least not a many people will buy it. Get over it and get off your high horse OP. it WILL be available later for everyone. 1) they've done it before 2) means more money 3) their answers say sh*t like "CURRENTLY..." "We haven't announced...." that way they can answer your question but not shoot themselves in the foot. If they say "nah it's purely exclusive for people who buy SE/CE" then they won't be able sell it to everyone else. If they sell it to more people = more money. Rockstar/TakeTwo are a business and they are here to make money at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braindawg Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It's pretty obvious that they're going to release it later on. I mean they'll make good milking people out of cash by making it seem exclusive, then they'll make even more releasing it later on. This. I pity those who can't see it.

Fail_At_GTA Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 So you want all of that stuff to be exclusive because you can afford it at this moment? Not everyone has $150 to spend right now. Personally, I do have $150 that I could spend on the CE but I don't really care for the physical items. I'm not paying $70 more for stuff I don't want. If I decide I do want the extra ingame content, I'll buy it in a few months for $10-$20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuXu96 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 of course it will be later available, for money, but there are still some idiots thinking they can get the stuff with ingame money or ingame progress xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
