    I’ll put it on my steam wishlist and buy it when it’s $20 or less.

    I’m still waiting for Elden Ring and BG3, there’s plenty of games to be played, I don’t need to get it day one.

    I also get the advantage of not buying a buggy game that’s half finished. It’ll be cheaper and better if I wait, often with a bunch of the extra paid DLC included.

      I seriously doubt there’ll be meaningful DLC and that the story will be long/entertaining. See the critically acclaimed RDR2,has no big DLC. I doubt it’ll ever come down to $20

      I suspect it’ll be a vehicle to push GTA Online 6 or whatever. Even with that, it’ll still be $100. I also doubt it’ll come to steam till 5 years down the line. These are usual Rockstar & 2K shenanigans.

      Not being cynical, being (relatively) realistic. Rockstar has a track record of demanding exorbitant prices & fans paying them.

        I don’t HAVE to play the game. If they don’t price it in a way that I’ll buy it, then I just won’t buy it.

        I’ve never bought a lot of games, heck I don’t buy MOST games. I buy games that I’m interested in, when they’re priced in a way that seems reasonable to me. There’s plenty of companies (and individuals) out there who are selling me what I want, for the price I would pay for them.

          Most consumers aren’t reasonable consumers like you though. Peer pressure & curiosity is one helluva draw.
