Take two says it won't nickel and dime its customers. This type of thinking has led to Take Two's excellent revenue growth. 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Interesting read on how a huge company justifies to itself on how they are such nice guys in making billions off us ,.. but other companies are wrong for what they do in their approach  ?!?!?

    Oh yes, Take Two is just such a good guy to consumers.  It's not like they try to push people into buying bundled Shark Cash cards with GTAV whenever there is a sale, or anything.

    I think that microtransactions are really a bad thing in most games. I also think that multiplayer has also kind of became a bad thing for a lot of games. I am excited for Red Dead 2 but not really super excited about multiplayer. As for DLC if they do something like Undead Nightmare then I would probably get it but I have got to the point where I find a lot of stuff like microtranactions and DLC are weak money grabs without the care the original game gets.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    What ever happened to buying a game then 3-4 months or so later a hefty expansion came out. All these pre order this and get that then over abundant dlc's that don't mount up to much make gaming less pleasing.

    IKR? The Bllad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned  for GTA IV were great examples of what expansions should be. So many games now only offer "DLC" and not true expansions.
