Comment on Do you consider GTA VI overpriced?
nyctre@piefed.social 1 day agoFair enough. But I do wonder. If they only had the standard version for sale and then 3-6 months later they’d put all the ultimate edition stuff for sale as a dlc, would you still call it scummy?

Look as someone who’s partial to playing the devils avocado myself, I get where you’re coming from.
That said, this is just horse armour dlc tier. I’ll never understand people defending companies doing this shit. R* is already going to milk 6, probably to the tune of a billion plus dollars, again. Do they seriously have to nickel and dime like this? In an ideal fantasy land, they wouldn’t even charge a cent for SP DLC because they know they’ll sell currency and content for the MP and make an absolute killing.
Let’s not forget, how much DLC content was released for SP on GTA 5?
Like “thanks for buying our C suite several mansions and yachts each and our earning our investors a fortune last game. Want some tattoos and cars, that could be modded into any other game? Pay up. Anyway gotta go bust up another employee union, cya.”
Tap for spoiler
To answer your question, yes, if they had it ready to go on release and withheld it. Your question is also semi paradoxical. Cutting content from the game for day 0 dlc is done for profiteering. Why wait months in a vain attempt at hiding it? Also it’d be pretty obvious because they can’t sprout the locations up out of nowhere, so they’d have to block these areas off. Nerds also always datamine files for nearly every game. It’d discovered immediately so they’d still cop shit for it but now lose the FOMO incentive to purchase it that they’re angling for.
