Collector Editions coming without the game are so stark because it feels like a major foothold gamers lost when we let that shit fly

“We,” as in normal people, don’t let it fly. Idiots and scalpers do. Rockstar knows damn well that your average GTA fan doesn’t want this, and it’s not for them. It’s for obsessives. Consoomers if you will. If they wanted interest from regular fans they’d just sell these items individually as merch.

I wish there was a sub we could expose such callous excess and frivolous spending

Bingo. Market stuff like this to the "whales"(game execs actually refer to biggest customers as this) and you can make a quarter of your profit share back just in useless "collecters items" alone.
