I'm laughing at all the people crying that it shouldn't be made available "BAWWWW, I PAID EXTRA FOR THIS NO ONE ELSE DESERVES IT!!!" It's DIGITAL CONTENT, it's already on everyones game, just locked out, you're not special or entitled in any way or form because you paid extra for it now

This is where I and Rockstar think you are wrong. Rockstar has the final decision. Buy it or STFU.

Why do YOU think that? Rockstar I can understand, it's easy money for them suckering in people to pay for more parts of the game that are already there, but why do YOU think that aside from some senseless loyalty to the company? How does it benefit YOU by having publishers force certain parts of the game behind a pay wall under the guise of "oooh it's a special edition, you're a special person if you own this version" instead of just having the content there for EVERY person who owns the game? After all, all the content is already on the disc. You're basically saying that you like publishers f*cking you.

It does not benefit me, I just do not mind paying extra. I really wish I could explain simple economics to you all, but this is over the internet. We need a classroom at a vo-tech to pull this off.

I understand that, it's pure business, and it's a tactic that I find completely pathetic and disgusting, as I've explained multiple times over, it costs NOTHING on the Dev/Publisher side to enable this content, yet they're getting gamers such as yourself with disposable income who "don't mind" to basically pay for what's already there. Congratulations, you're a victim of big business and yet you willingly accept it.

No you just like sucking Rockstar's d*ck. Any real gamer would know that what they're doing is wrong.

We have different opinions, no reason to speak that way. Things I cannot change, I do not stress over.

There's no different opinion. If you work for Rockstar then what I said didn't mean anything but since you don't there's no way you can defend what they're doing. You can try all you want but you can't defend it. It's wrong plain and simple.

You can't tell someone their opinion is wrong, that is not how it works. They charge more for digital content or physical content, if I want it and can afford it I will buy it. I can defend anything I choose to.

 

Fellas this is not like the gas companies gouging us. We MUST have gas so we can go to work/home etc...BUYING THIS GAME IS AN OPTION.

Oh and to chime in exlcusive collectors edition content has been around for a decade so all you newbies stop complaining. The only thing different this gen are preorder bonuses and those arnt going away. If you like the game then spend 60 fuggin bucks on it brand new and support the people who made the game and stop bitching. Preorder bonuses are here to stay fellas so get some dough and stop crying

You can't defend developers purposely taking content out for DLC. Once again I'll do my famous quote about this. "You can't defend this in anyway" There is no different opinion. If you work for Rockstar then yes you can believe its right but if you don't and still believe its right then you are not a true gamer and a disgrace to all gamers alike.

so you would feel the same if you were on the other side of the fence?

You can't defend it which is why you're not. The only way you could defend this is by a business standpoint which you don't work for Rockstar. So you still couldn't defend this.

ah ok.

that's a dumb and sociopathic ideology, a lazy, apathetic approach to life I cannot subscribe to.

and quite against the whole ethos of GTA itself in some ways, no?

Try 6-8 at minimum. If the Rockstar Pass is so inevitable then so is more DLC, the kind that doesn't come from a SE/CE of the game.

Only time will tell fella. colgate.gif

LOL! You sound like a baby begging for attention. He wasn't even talking to you anymore. He obviously doesn't care enough about you or your opinions to waste his time arguing with you. Get over it, already. Your comments make you look really pathetic, quite frankly.

Yet you're trying to defend someone who couldn't come up with anything to defend himself. You look like a dumb child. Your comment just made you look pathetic.

While the price of the Collector's Edition is a disgrace considering it's contents, some of you guys are obviously young and are yet to learn one of the realities of life. That is that people with more money can buy better things than you and you just have to accept it.

 

As long as there are people prepared to pay more, companies will come up with more expensive editions to offer them. Maybe they hold things back for those editions but that's reality and it's the case with almost every product you can buy including food. Why would games be any different? They're not holding back anything critical, just a few luxuries.

The only thing to remain exclusive in the CE are the physical goodies. I wouldn't be surprised to see the rest avaiable for download in just a few weeks, unfortunately it's how it works nowadays.

lol at people rockstar will keep these in-game contents of the CE exclusive, lol at you.

I can't wait to see your reaction when Rockstar will make the digital contents of the CE available 2-3 months later just to milk out of the series even more, lol at people who thought Rockstar will care about their games more than their money, lol.

I have responded to this person numerous times...For some reason he cannot accept the fact that spending $150 on a video game that comes around every 3-4 yrs does not bother me.

 

For some people there is no happy medium.

 

@YoSoyTuMuerte & GlitzyTomb...Thanks icon14.gif . Nice to see some people appreciate restraint.

I'm with you.

 

Too many people are expecting the digital content to be entirely exclusive to those who bought the SE/CE. The only way it is exclusive is that you get it earlier than everyone else. Think of it as timed DLC if you will. The only truly exclusive things are the physical items such as the steel book case, map, box, hat and bag. The only way you will get them is if you buy the SE/CE or buy the items from someone who has.

 

All the digital content WILL be made available for EVERYONE at a later date. The only reason Rockstar isn't saying this is because if they do it will stop people buying the SE/CE. Rockstar is a commercial business. They are here to make money. Do you think they actually care about you enough to not sell the digital stuff later? You're sadly mistaken! Rockstar will offer the digital content in the SE/CE and say it is exclusive in vague words then people pay an extra £25-80 for it. Once the rest of the DLC is released they will make available the digital SE/CE content for everyone else which will make them more money. They will later release the COMPLETE edition of the game with ALL DLC in it. Yes, even the SE/CE stuff. When I bought the RDR GOTY edition I got stuff that was only available if you pre ordered the game I think.

 

They have done this before and they will most certainly do it with their biggest money maker.
