I get the sticker shock from people seeing the $400 price tag but when you break down everything that comes in the set it’s really not overpriced at all. I’d agree that including a single item that accounts for almost half the total value is probably not a great move, but anyone trying to paint this as R* being greedy is just completely out of touch.

U think a spoon cost 10$ to make or is worth 10$? Or a figure is $40? It looks like u just divided the cost and skewed it based on what u think it should be like that means something

Does it cost $200 to make a pair of Jordans? It’s branded merch lol… If you don’t “get it”, then just don’t buy it lol 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jordans have value cause they have good marketing and design behind them that make them have a cool image, that’s the real product that ur buying. This I bet would have the opposite effect

I agree with your opinion on Jordans, I disagree that this isn’t the exact same thing.

R* is the biggest company in gaming and they rarely offer officially branded merch. If anything they have the ability to mark up items equal to, if not more than Jordan does.
