    Heck make them $250, i’m not buying them even at $70.

    If a game is over $30 it needs to be damn good to get me to buy it.

    I don’t even buy a game when it’s 70…

    At 80 there is no fucking way…

    90, are they crazy? Never!

    100? Lulz, go fuck yourself lunatic

    They can try, but it might not work. GTA VI has been in development for like more than a decade and will probably have loads of content. I could see $100 being justified. But not every other AAA game would be the same. Most wouldn’t in fact.

    That said, video games have been $50-60 for the last 25 years. If they’d kept up with inflation, they’d be close to $110. So, I get it.

    I’m loving the balls on studios. Yesterday we had “experts” suggesting it might cost 100 bux, and today it’s already the beggining of a trend. And the game isn’t even out. In fact, we only have the trailer for the game and they’re already predicting prices.

    My prediction is yes, they’ll ask 100$ and more, and yes, people will pay it.

    But the nerve, I swear. “Yeah, our games have gotten sloppier every year. And yes, we fired tens of thousands solely for profit reasons. But line must go up, so you better start paying”

      Do you really think people will buy it? I’ve played most of the GTAs, but I’m not about to spend 100 dollars on a video game.

        You’re clearly not the target audience. Every slightly popular game has its whales. Something as popular as GTA? They’ll sell it at $100 and laugh all the way to the bank.

    some developers “hope” the next installment in the GTA franchise will be priced at $80–$100
