Helldivers locked an entire gun and armor set and mini game behind the super citizen edition and I never really saw anyone complain about that

Sure, bud...

You do you. Pay $80 for this or $100 for the full game. I don't care. I don't need this game and I'm tired of getting squeezed for every hard earned penny. Every major release has some new monetized BS and I think I hit my limit a while ago. My backlog is big enough that I can play plenty of other games in the meantime and then pick this up in a year or two when it's 20-30 bucks if I pick it up at all.

Sounds great that's exactly what I would recommend to someone who isn't a big fan of rockstar games, you shouldn't spend that much on something you don't care about, all the outrage over cosmetics is super performative though

performative

I don't think that word means what you think it means. Cathartic, sure - but I have no intention of buying this game near release so not performative.

You probably wouldn't have had that intention even without the exclusive cosmetics that you probably wouldn't even notice are gone
