Even if I was a millionaire I wouldn't want my games to have micro transactions in them. It's not about the cost, it's about the fact that as soon as micro transactions are included in the game, the game instantly becomes all about pushing those microtransactions, to the detriment of the gameplay.

Also you are mad if you prepare to pay $100 for GTA VI especially because we all know that it'll be discounted at some point.
