Should I buy GTA VI, even though doing so will support a company's questionable decisions that are harmful in the long term for consumers?
Title. I won't get into the weeds of it but Take Two/ Rockstar's decision to #1. Arbitrarily increase the price of the game from the industry standard $60-$70 to $80 and have a $100 version that contains more in game content, (naturally, more people are compelled to buy the $100 version) and #2. providing no physical version of the game, which is a trend that will negatively impact access to and true ownership of this kind of media.
On the one hand, GTA VI will more than likely be a pretty fun game to have, and I will at least enjoy it for a couple days or weeks, depending on how engrossed I get into it.
However, part of me also feels that purchasing it for the artificially inflated price will contribute to a world where games as media are sold at ever-unreasonable prices, as well as one where people do not really "own" games but only have the license to it that can be taken away at any time for any reason. I don't think that would be good.
What do y'all think?
