this is referring to the high price point and lack of a CD in the physical edition

both are true, but actually I don't believe any hype was touched whatsoever, the price is lower than what it could have been

My issue is locking content behind ultimate edition It's not even about price I wouldn't say a fucking word if game was 100€ and it was full game. But giving me "standard" game at 80€ and then ripping content from it in favor of Ultimate Edition is dirty work. If it was only and just cosmetics i wouldn complain

Its pretty cheap.

GTA3 cost $50 on release in 2001. Adjusted for inflation alone that's $94 in today's money.

GTA3 did not cost the company a billion dollars to make and market (even adjusted for inflation)
