Redditor Sees GTA 6 Price Tag, Immediately Blasts Nostalgia for the Days When Microtransactions Were Just Optional

AITA for telling my friend that paying $70 for GTA 6 is actually a steal compared to what’s coming?

Look, I know we’re all crying about the $70 price tag for GTA 6. But hear me out. Rockstar’s gonna sell us the game for $69.99, then charge $19.99 for a “Shark Card Starter Pack” that gives you 3,000 in-game dollars (worth about one car wash), then $49.99 for the “Cargo Crate Deluxe Pass” (which is just early access to a different color of cargo shorts). TL;DR: The $70 is the down payment on your eventual soul re-po.

Meanwhile, my friend is over here like “back in my day, we paid $60 for a complete game.” Newsflash, boomer: “back in your day” you also had to blow on the cartridge like a mouth-breather to get the damn thing to work. You’re paying $70 for the privilege of being an in-game peasant for the first six months. AITA for telling him to just accept the 3,000-hour grind or fork over the $100 for the “Early Access No-Shame Edition”?
