  In before, $99 and it sells like hotcakes. The success of Apple shows people will eat the price hike given enough hype.

    The success of Apple shows

    You’re comparing apples and oranges I mean video games.

      The Switch 2 has been wildly successful. I think Rockstar is gonna be just fine.

      Remember, the opinions you read online on places like Lemmy do not match the opinions of the general public. This doesn’t just apply to games; on pretty much every topic Lemmy proves time, and time again, that people here don’t have the first god damn clue how the average person thinks.

    I think we can differentiate between fashion and video games.

    I have no doubt GTA will sell well enough regardless of price and quality. But if it’s a $100 and the quality isn’t there, I doubt it will sell as well as they’d hope.

    But we’ll see.

    I don’t know, it feels like the US is at least heading towards a tipping point.

  Shit man, I don’t even want a $50 GTA6. Rockstar and Take2 can go to hell.

    The single player part might be decent though. I hope.

    Will totally not get it at release though. For neither of the overcooked asking prices…

      If they had actually come out with the single player DLC for GTA5, I’d be more inclined to get 6 near launch. But the only way I’ll get it is if reviews show that the single player story and world are legit as-is, because i don’t trust them to add anything later.

  I think most people don’t have much impulse control or long term planning. They’ll buy it at full price despite having a backlog of other games

  All the simps are gonna buy it regardless.

  Stop giving these shit companies money especially for this milked out unoriginal crap made in sweatshop conditions.

  Based on my own research, that’s about 37% too many, ±3% margin of error

  I legitimately wonder how many people are going to buy a PS5 just for this game.

  For once I’m glad that rockstar takes forever to release their games for PC, this way I get to see how everyone reacts to it first then decide if it’s worth it after the hype dies down

  Aren’t these greedy fuckers going to just sell shark cards for like infinite more money? Just make it free and you widen that market by a shit ton

  • SilverFlame@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    They sell the complete game for $100, then they make the online free to play after a couple years of people buying in. You get the FOMO bucks upfront and the whale dollars roll in steadily.
