$100 if you want:
The entire map / all interactive world locations.
The entire story.
Ability to customize vehicles.
All of the game's vehicles.
All of personal cosmetic customization options, such as clothes, tattoos, makeup, etc.
All of the weapon customization options.
So really, the actual game is $100 dollars, that does not include Online, but there's a slimmed down poor person edition available for $80 bucks.
GTA Online 2 or w/e looks like its gonna be a monthly subscription to even access it.
Oh also there are no physical editions.
None.
All digital, the 'physical' is just a code in a box.
Now, the actual 'extra' content in the Ultimate Edition is an 80s/Vice City/Miami Vice cosmetic pack.
But the reality is that the base version is a stripped down version of the actual game, which is the Ultimate Edition.
All that and I will bet you anything that they will have in-game purchases. Some kind of currency that you can purchase with real money that you can use in the game to buy extra shit.
This is exactly the case. The made the $80 version the budget edition. One where you get an incomplete package for not paying the $100 that the game actually costs.
Fuck! I wanted to buy second hand so Rockshit doesn't get my money. You can't just fire like 35 developers a year before the big release. What a fucking evil shit company. But yes, I still want to play because I'm a bad person.
It's even worse than them just firing them. They fired them for being union members and trying to organize a larger Union in their workforce. This was union busting. And they did it by claiming these people leaked confidential information. Which is blacklisting.
Fuck that company.
You don't have to be a bad person.
... you can wait untill it comes to PC, we'll get it cracked eventually, at least single player.
Those old GTA 6 alpha leaks are still out there.
I actually had a copy at one point... I'm sure someone still does, and I'm sure examining it can be useful.
But uh yeah, fire a whole bunch of devs right before release?
That's AAA industry standard, been that way for like 15 years now, they basically all do that.
Source?

So yeah my guess would be that they do a two pronged approach of either:
You buy GTA Online 2 as a standalone game
or
You have a GTA + monthly subscription, which gives you both access to GTA Online 2, and also basically a 'battlepass' or w/e, monthly perks.
But with the latter, stop the subscription? Well there goes your GTA Online 2 access.
You can do both too, of course.
They already figured out that you could split RDR2 and GTA5 into 'singleplayer + multiplayer' and 'just multiplayer'.
Why not just also have 'just single player'?
Are you aware that there's a subscription available for GTA Online 1 right now, by the same name, and it isn't required for access? There's no reason to believe they're going to lock access behind a subscription; it's become very unpopular, as they find they make more money without that barrier.
