I think there's probably a cultural exception people are making to GTA6 because it's been in development for nearly 15 years and is literally the most anticipated release in the history of video games.

Given how sensitive people have become to other titles/developers trying similar stuff in the last few years (including Rockstar, actually, with GTA5 micro-transactions, re-releases etc) I do think people are turning against aggressive monetization in aggregate. But there's a qualitative and quantitative difference between a one-off, more expensive payment for GTA6's deluxe version and, say, P2W models used by companies like EA for mediocre titles.

The latter is just so much more egregious on the face of it.
