    I personally won’t because GTA isn’t my thing anymore, but if my brother gets the money by launch, he definitely wants the ultimate edition for PS5.

    Nah.

    We’ve got GTA 5, but don’t really enjoy it. (The excessive open-world free-roam, great! The “doing nasty shit” part, not so much.) And THEN there’s the whole “they’re trying to kill discs” thing and just, nah.

    I really enjoyed GTA 5. I bought it twice in two different systems. I’ll eventually play 6, but it’s gotta be for a sale. Fuck the $80 price tag, and fuck Rockstar union busting and I hope they unionize hard.

    I probably will, but i wont be happy about it. I’ve got a boy who’ll be 15 by then attending a public school.

    If it turns out basically everyone has a copy I’ll need to get him one, you know how it is, and with the license-share on our xboxs itll mean I’ll get a copy too. Hopefully the youth of today are actually a lot more politically-minded than i imagine, or the cost of living crisis will mean nearly no parents buy it for them, but I bet I’m going to be buying it.

        Good option would be wait for it to be free on epic or something

    Why is “buy eventually” not an option? I’m not arranging my life around the PC launch, but I don’t need a sale either.

      For which you will need internet to activate/play the disc.
      So at this point it became a useless piece of plastic anyway.
      If it was like on GoG it would at least make sense.

    I’m not at all surprised to see the “not interested” and “wait for a sale” options being massively ahead on Lemmy. Though it’d be interesting to see how different the “not interested” crowd would be if the option were split into “not interested at all” and “interested but wont buy for political/moral reasons”.

    The comments here imply most would vote for the second option, but I’m in the first camp myself. I’ve never been interested in any of the GTA games.

      Yeah, I also imagine there’s lots of folks who have their handful of games in rotation that wouldn’t care to buy a new game anyways. And then also lots of folks, who just don’t have the hardware for it…

      I’m in both camps, but also I think there should be a “Arrr” option. I’m also in that camp, mostly out of curiosity. I want to see what compromises they make on this game, and how they choose to accomplish certain tasks. It’s going to be a massive game culturally, and I want to be aware of what they’re doing.

    I will consider the Ultimate Edition on PC once I know what it entails.
    If it’s like the current details say: Sale
    If it’s semi logical: Buy at a reduced price on somwthing like GreenManGaming or somewhere.

      Oh, that’s bad. I didn’t know they would block VPNs. There was an option to detect unique users, and I chose by IP (but with option Anonymize voter data). For anyone else, I guess the comment section is the only way to express opinion then. Edit: Why the downvote?

          But this was just an explanation. Why downvote an explanation? I did not decide to block VPNs, in fact I thought it is possible to vote multiple times by using the option “by IP”. It’s the first time I used this website. And by looking at it again, I can see there is an option that says “Block VPN users” and I simply did not see it when creating and left it the default option. So blocking VPN users is an accident here, because of my incompetence, not because I decided to block them with intentions.

          I use VPNs myself often, especially with YouTube, and would not wanted to have them blocked here. My apologies.

          I found out there is a setting to unblock VPN users. Please try again, I hope this works now. It was not my intention to block!
