So does this apply to any game that has exclusive pre-order content? Or ultimate edition content?
Enjoy waiting while everyone else enjoys playing the game.
With pre-order content you have choice to pre-order or not. PC Only gamers in this situation don't have any choice and that is main problem, at least for me.

Like PC gamers have any choice whatsoever about that in the first place.
I think it's only your GTAO character.
On mobile. Don't have the capacity to play it for 2 minutes.
Problem? What problem? There is no problem at all.
This is just a way to reward customers for their loyalty, and YES, someone who has spent twice as much money as you, deserves more than you.
Yeah, I know, it's outrageous!!!!
Are you guys being deliberately obtuse? i don't get it. The sense of entitlement in this thread is mind blowing.

Try reading peoples points then.
- game is not released on a platform in 2013.
- game is not released on a platform in 2014.
- instead of "thanks for waiting!" when game is released on that platform in 2015, bits of it are removed unless you bought it on a completely different platform previously.
Did you enjoy playing GTAV back in 2013?
Yes?
Then why make a big deal about how you should be 'rewarded for your loyalty'?
You weren't buying into a kickstarter to fund some struggling dev who couldn't get a game made.
I had some rare jeeps and Harley's in my lockup
suppose I could find them again. Now that I think about it I don't think I signed in to the social club. How does this affect me?
If anyone is making a big deal about something then it's you - I don't think most people who have already played the game were demanding we be rewarded for having done so.
Rather than thanking people for waiting (and not purchasing their product in that time), they have decided to instead thank the people who did purchase their product.
Fair enough, this means you miss out on some content, but it is not designed to punish those who waited, but to reward those who have already spent their money on the game.
You will be getting the exact same game that we got when we bought it - actually, you will be getting it with all of the DLC etc.
I would be loyal customer in September 2013 if i had choice to buy it on platform that i own and use but i didn't. And i own almost all R* titles they ever made and yet i am not loyal customer after all of that. I said before i don't have any issue with this system on PS4/X1 but PC will get this game year and a half later for the first time and cutting content in this way is not ok.

You're right, but it still does punish people who waited regardless of their intent. They should just make this stuff standard in the pc version, especially since it's not releasing at the same time anyway. I really don't see how it would hurt at all to throw pc gta fans a bone here.
So how about the video creator mode that the PC will be getting?
Surely if I buy the game on PS4, I should have the same content as everyone else?
Has it actually been confirmed that PC owners will not get this content?
They did say that PS4 players will be able to purchase the content that, up till now, was only available for those who bought the ultimate edition version of PS3.
So would not be all the surprising if they made this other content available once the PC version launches - even if that means paying for it in game.

Yeah - except 18 months later, and what DLC?.
It's a dick-move by R* towards a specific playerbase.
I genuinely have to question if not the agenda of people who claim to not be able to see that, then their lack of basic empathy.
That is not ok from R* ether but you will be able to capture and edit content on X1/PS4 even if there is no Video Editor on consoles. Sure it won't be as powerful as on PC version but you will have way to capture it. And again i think that cutting Video Editor from PS4/X1 is also a bad move.

Sure, I can see a "deluxe edition" thing happening here on pc. The issue here is possibly just being caused by the lack of specifics, especially when you take into account the fact that Rockstar clearly consider themselves a console dev first and foremost.

I was hoping GameStop would do some kind of extra credit trade in of previous gen versions for the next gen versions. The only downside is I bought the limited edition one and it comes in the awesome hard case and stuff, I hate letting things like that go
People are about to drop another $60 on a game they already bought. R* are rewarding that/incentivising you doing so.

As a consumer, i really see no good reason to stand behind and support the idea of "exclusive content".
You want to cheat people out of enjoyment for what benefit? i'd understand if there was some form of scarcity involved, of course, but on digital goods?
Rockstar is just doing it to push double dips, but we shouldn't defend or be happy about it.

I think people understand that but the reward and incentive would still be there if they made it available to all. I'm double dipping, I would have done so regardless of the bonus for returning players, but I do think it's a bit shit not including it for everyon. At the same time they aren't the greatest bonuses, they're not really worth getting too angry about.
Exclusive content is nothing new - whether it be for pre-ordering, purchasing via a particular retailer, purchasing a more expensive version. Are the people who buy their games in that manner "cheating people out of enjoyment" through their actions?
I did not buy the special edition of GTA V, so there were a few cars that I never had access to. But I wasn't annoyed at R* for giving them something extra.
I think its a fundamental difference in mindset - some see this as R* punishing / penalising them for not buying the game previously, whereas it is in fact rewarding those who are buying the same/similar game twice.
I find the sense of entitlement difficult to understand. R* are not saying that flying in the game is only available to those who have played it before. They are not restricting something that was in the original game. They have added some content and have chosen to give it to those who have already bought / played their game, as a thank you / reward / incentive to buy the game again.

Make sure you're signed into the social club, then all you have to do is play the prologue mission, which isn't that long.
Thanks for the answer!
No need to create an online character?
You have to create a Social Club account, link it to your PSN/XBL profile and then complete the first mission of the game "Prologue"

When I read something like this, I ask myself why I still buy me Collectors Editions, when the stuff in there should be limited to the buyers of the SE or CE and not available to everyone.

I might be reading that wrong, but I think what it means is if you bought the Special Edition or Collectors Edition last generation then you still get access to those special rewards for PS4/X1, not that everybody gets access to it without paying anything else. That .50 cal pistol JESUS.
Nope, you can avoid the GTA Online portion all together. You just need to have been signed into Social Club and beat the first mission in the game (the prologue,
set in North Yankton
Not really. Your MP data will transfer to PS4, but not your single player data. When you switch to the PS4 version in single player, it's a new file, a new game, and if you've bought cars or guns with Michael/Trevor/Franklin in GTA5 Single Player before, they will not retain any of those... it's just like going to Game -> New Game for Xbox 360. If you got any pre-order bonuses, etc., then those will still be available per usual at Ammunation or wherever, just like starting a new game on 360.

As far as I know you don't have to, except for maybe the $500,000 you get for online characters. But as far as I know it's just social club, then prologue mission in single player and you're good to go.

Indeed, this additional content is piss poor compared to what was originally promised for the original game.

Oh, so you played it already? Seriously dude....step back and realize how ridiculous you sound.
You are getting all the DLC that has been released during those (correction 14) months. lol.
No one forced them to wait.
People who actually wanted to play the game have already done so. Wanted to wait? Then deal with the fact that your platform is just an afterthought for certain developers.

Fine Rockstar. I'm getting this. This and DA:I will be my holiday purchases. I'll probably grab it with a buy 2 get one free or some sort of deal like that.
Sorry, it's not my fault they didn't put it on PC a year ago for me to be able to double dip when we all new it would eventually come.
Yeah, pc's an afterthought here. That's why they're putting a much improved version of the game on it.
Oooh, then why are you people bitching about it?
I bought the special edition on 360, so i'm most likely getting everything there is to get, but i'm still annoyed that R* is setting an artificial gate to stuff they've already created, for all other players.
I don't care about having stuff exclusive to myself, and i don't care about being rewarded for double dipping.
I double dipped not because i'm a loyal customer (i'm not a dog) but because i couldn't wait for the PC version to come out, weighted in how much it was worth to play a gimped version of the game, and decided it was worth the 60+.
I understand the business decision behind pushing people for double dipping, if i get in R*'s shoes, but i'm saying it's not something i'd want , in an ideal world.
Also not saying it's the worst practice to ever grace this industry or that R* are monsters, or anything like that.
That right? Why don't I get that then? Why do you guys get more than I do just because of my choice of how I spent my money?

...hate me...
Taking the piss, m8?
It's cool that games have so much detail that I don't even care if I miss out on some of it. I put countless hours into GTA5, yet I know there are tons of things I haven't experienced. IMO it's more fun to discover game features organically in GTA then it is to search online and then seek them out. People love to complain about anything and everything. My advice.....sit back, relax and enjoy the game when it comes out. Try not to get your panties in a bunch about exclusive content, there is much more to this game.
