Pre-orders for GTA 6 have long been running, but a user has found something funny in the expensive edition.
What kind of find is this? A player discovered a sticker in the background of one of the promotional images for the more expensive Ultimate Edition of GTA 6. It says: “Buy more useless shit”.
Ironically, of course, because you pay extra for the Ultimate Edition to receive practically useless items, outfits, and cars in the game. The 20 € more expensive edition doesn’t offer any real advantage other than better appearance.
Players agree and can only laugh in the comments about how they are being called out by Rockstar Games.
Here you can see a current video about GTA 6:
The players see through Rockstar Games
How do the players react to this? Neither the sticker nor the message behind it go unnoticed. Rockstar Games of course touches on a sore spot with the players, but they take it in stride. They know that the developers are right, and it’s certainly not the first time they’ve made fun of their players.
Fans write on X.com:
- Buckeye311: “Not too surprising for a game known for parodying consumerism.”
- itzjustdubz: “It comes from a real sticker by the Canadian artist Enjoy Denial.”
- InpeK: “If they had slapped this sticker directly on the shop page, I would have respected the honesty. Rockstar is just mocking its own audience at this point.”
- bam: “The developers are making fun of their own game and the players, lol.”
Already in GTA 5 and the previous parts, there were numerous examples where Rockstar Games made fun of their fans. The most prominent example is probably the “Chiliad Mystery” parody surrounding the Epsilon cult.
The Epsilon cult is a parody of real cults and online conspiracy theories that Rockstar Games uses to criticize blind fanaticism by forcing players to complete extremely monotonous, time-consuming tasks like walking in the desert for hours for a completely worthless reward like a T-shirt.
Do you know other examples where Rockstar Games makes fun of its own player base? Feel free to write them in our comments! On the website, there are more secret information that were discovered only days later: The GTA 6 website is rumored to spoil an unknown mechanic and it sounds exciting
