Last night I was clicking Add to Cart like there's no tomorrow...when I stopped I ended up at ~400EUR...at that point I asked myself "what's wrong with you, when will you actually play all these games?"...of course, my backlog is already stretching over the horizon...

I've been "trimming the fat" throughout the day...not gonna lie, it will still hurt...

I'd love to say that I can relate, but I've never found myself in that situation. But I understand how f*cked up that is.

Over the years I learned to not buy anything during the first day (Steam used to crash during the first few hours of a big sale) and so the only thing I did yesterday was check the games on my wishlist to see the deals, but nothing was too enticing. I'll probably wait until the weekend to check the games I follow and then the rest of the store.

I'm not sure if I'll end getting something or not.

It's a dick move, but that has become a common practice from many publishers.

At least the base game is not $100 like some expected.

They locked features out of the $80 "base game." The actual game is $100. 

I know, I know. But those extras can't be that imnportant. The description says: "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story", meaning that they are mostly cosmetic, and while the last bit may be worrying, Rockstar can't lock important story missions without hampering how the story is told.

I think it's more likely to be related to side-quests that help you explore the city and earn money, like the old "steal the cars of this list" kind of missions. Not a dealbreaker for most people.

Then again, I'm not going to buy it, so I'm not that upset about this d*ck move.
