Im gonna have to ask the obvious... why doesn't the ultimate edition come with everything?
Unless i'm mistaken it sounds as if you don't get the GTA $$ or the extra treasure map unless you pre-order a digital copy, which evidently excludes the hard case and poster. so its not the true ultimate edition. So if you buy physical you don't get the $$ and map, but if you buy digital you don't get the Steelbook and poster.
It sounds like they are trying to split their ultimate editions for the handful of people who need to have it all, and will buy both.
If that's the case that is truly scummy. Also locking missions of behind paywalls and pre-order bonuses is pretty disgusting. What happened to the special editions with a few skins and guns, and a few fun IRL trinkets? why do we have to buy a special edition just to get the complete game, then fork out just as much money again to get far too much junk. Why couldn't they just include a coin, pack of cards and some other shit along with the base game?
This is really disappointing, if that is the case. I don't know if R* monitors these kinds of boards but I own every single Mainline R* game since the PS1 era and this is really really worrying
