Tell you what: Finish making the game, patch out all the bugs, add some DLC, and I’ll consider paying you $5 for the GOTY edition in a few years. Best I can do.
I still havent played GTA5 because I never found the disc cheap enough, at some point I quit looking for it, really sucks GTA4 was the last game from that franchise I’ll get to play, but ending physical discs means I will not buy your console game.
DLC is shit and ruins game balance in GOTY editions.
Welcome to the game! Here’s all this amazing loot you bought! Now your first quest is to kill that rat over there with your brand new Fire Sword. Oh yeah, here’s your Anglic Armour and your Awesome Horse Armour. You’ll have to lug that around in your inventory for a few hours until you find the horse quest though.
I absolutely hate it. I always have to try and remember all the random crap that was thrown into my inventory and avoid using any of it for an authentic experience.
I’m going to disagree with you. Things like Shivering Isles added replay value to Oblivion and, to my memory, didn’t include anything that would overpower you in a new game.
I agree with both of you, I think it comes down to the scope and type of DLC. An expansion size DLC like Shivering Isles tends to fit in nicely with the rest of a game because the developer needs to plan out when and where you can start to access the new stuff, but a lot of smaller DLC like bonus weapons can be integrated pretty poorly because they want you to get the cool little thing you paid money for and it’s easier to put it in a hard to miss chest or just give it to you early on.

Maybe if Epic gets desperate enough after their plan to chase Roblox and slop crashes they’ll let you download it from them for free like they did 5

Pretty sure I paid $5 for GTA5 and not much more for 4 and San Andreas. I think GTA 3 was the last time I paid MSRP.

Eh, depends on the game.
Plus, you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
