How long until we get the “scalpers bought them all and are selling for $1000” article?
They’re already listed on eBay so
Really? My prediction when the game was revealed to be a digital code only, I thought there will be a Collectors Edition later for maybe 180 maybe 199 Euros / Dollars with the game on disc included. And this would be a controversy for the high price. But they did it, they overshadowed my prediction. Wow… just wow.
That’s because you’re buying the tat, but only renting the game.
You don’t even rent the game with the collectors edition.
Fair enough, there will be people buying it regardless.
But does the stuff HAVE to look so tacky and cheap? All artwork looks extremely uninspiring. The sun and the manatee look like some lame AI art.
People will buy it, complain about its quality and get refunds or alternative products through a long-ass process, keeping the game in the media long after most people are done with it. Obviously I’m catastrophizing a bit, but it’s hard not to be cynical about stuff like this.
AFAIK, not the first game to sell a tat-collection without a game, and imo, not entirely unreasonable - but before my crucifixion, hear me out: The tat-box is platform agnostic, and can arrive whenever and the customer is playing their game on whatever platform they wish (or, can) when it’s sold separately. If you absolutely need to have the collectible tat, no need to wait (as long).
But… 400 units of money for that tat? AbsofuckinglutelyNOPE.
Yeah, the only reason I would want them to add the game license in, is that the price is far too high for what you get.
Yall remember the master chief helmet with halo 3?
This shit ain’t it lmao
Not defending it, in any way shape or form - but the regular versions of the included Oakley Frogskin sunglasses retail for almost half the price of this “CE”.
Not sure exactly why they decided to do this - but I can imagine this (in conjunction with the ludicrously overpriced vinyl set) is intended to milk as much money out of the most die-hard fans as quickly as possible to appease shareholders and recoup the supposed $2b budget.
Who doesn’t want GTA themed lines?
Hmm what’s that spoon for?
same as the razor and mirror, I guess? Drugs?
People are stupid. They will buy it.
