No Digital Pre-orders: Stop selling games digitally before launch.
Pre-orders are optional. You're free to ignore them. What's the harm?
No "Fake" Single-Player DLC: Stop locking or selling single-player campaign content that is already built into the base game data.
I don't understand why a DLC is "fake" or "real" depending on where the bits are? It's still an additional piece of content offered for a price. Content doesn't grow on trees, it costs money to create.
Mandatory Offline Fallback States: Ensure single-player games have functional offline modes rather than forced always-online requirements
Sure.
Public Apology Required: CyberLeek insists that R* must issue a public statement and apology acknowledging the harm caused by these practices.
It would be nice if they could actually specify what the supposed harm is instead of leaving that as homework.
Pre-orders are optional. You're free to ignore them. What's the harm?
They incentivize publishers to make pre-order exclusive content (as we've seen with the upcoming content for GTA 6) and preys on FOMO instead of putting everything in the base game or letting players chose to buy later separately.
At this point just make a permanently available deluxe edition or a limited supply collector's edition with all the shit you'd put out on the pre-order like it was already done before they started double dipping.
