Last week, "GTA6" officially opened pre-orders and released a large number of promotional game screenshots. Among them, players discovered a detail that was suspected of being "ridiculed" by Rockstar developers. In a screenshot dedicated to promoting the exclusive bonus costume for the protagonist Lucia, which is only available in the $100 Ultimate Edition, attentive users zoomed in on a small sticker on the front edge of the store's wooden shelf. After carefully studying the fictitious faded barcode, they successfully deciphered the tiny accompanying text next to it, which read: "Buy more useless junk."
Considering that this sticker happened to appear on the official promotion screen that "spend an extra $20 to unlock the heroine's visual skin and exclusive weapon accessories", many players immediately thought that this was a mockery of Rockstar.
Interestingly, fans are divided on this "hidden tease." Some players applauded this and were happy to see the success; another group was quite disgusted with Rockstar's mean attitude, believing that the development company "directly marked the price to nearly 100 euros, cut off the physical version, and hung slogans on the game screen, calling those who paid to fatten them as consumer fools." It was both inappropriate and infuriating. Many people even vowed to play pirated games or directly play through the cloud; and a third group of players believed that this was not an insinuation against real players at all.
