Hot take, a very few games are actually worth the 100$ pricetag. The wrong studios believe their games are worth that much tho. I can see myself buying gta6 for 100 but id probably wait for a good sale lol

I’ll pay 100 dolars for gta vi blindly, but studios dont realize that trust is earned.

Well that's a ripe take on this. Evidently you don't know anyone who runs Linux and played GTA V online. Rockstar can fuck right off for what they pulled. Definitely didn't earn any trust, and Windows users should be wary as well since they did that with no notice and no fucks given to a portion of their paid users.

To be honest, rockstar has one of the worst multiplayer's in all videogames. I said what I said because RDR2 was one of my favorite games but even with that I never ever opened the online. So I will buy the next gta first day, play the history, explore the world and eventually uninstall just to never see it again. The good thing is that everyone has something they hate, and everyone has a wallet to vote.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I played GTA V online with three of my friends, and had about 900 hours of play. Then one day, bam, they literally cut anyone using Linux off from being able to connect to the servers. It just leaves a real bad taste in my mouth, because I would have probably gone to RDR2 next, and might have even bought RDR on my Switch. Voting with my wallet is all I can do, and at this point it feels like voting for a president. My tiny little vote won't really amount to much, but hey at least I can feel good about standing on my principals. Like someone else said, they have 30 year backlog of games, and I have similar. So not playing either GTA V online anymore or buying GTA VI won't really affect me in the long run as far as hindering my enjoyment of other games so there's that...

I'm a Linux user, and I'm at the point where I treat any online component as though it doesn't exist if there's no offline alternative like LAN. If GTA VI has a campaign as good as the previous two games, it's still worth it, because I'm not touching the online mode.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I guess the real pisser here was that the online component worked just fine. They made an active decision to just cut off linux players which was a real dick move.

I've definitely found games that I thought were worth $100, and they often refuse to even go as high as $70. Probably the only one that I thought was worth $100 and charged that much for it was Street Fighter 6.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Id much rather pay 100$ for an mmo and get all the nonsense battlepasses they do 'for life', feels better to 'own' it

I decided to go all out with Monster Hunter Wilds and got the ultimate digital deluxe or whatever. Does it smart? Yes. But the amount of hours I’ve put into World and Rise would make you blush and yell at me to go touch grass. It’s one of the few things I absolutely will not play Patient Gamer with.

GTA VI is another such game. The amount of time I’ve put into V since it dirst came out to PS360, you don’t even want to know.

Unless you do. Then I’ll go look it up.

No game is worth that price point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Exactly. Even a game like Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3 isn't worth 100$ and those are really great fucking games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I got games i have 1k+ hours in, id pay a hunnid fir that nuch entrmertainment.
