>we will deliver more value than what we charge
What did they mean by this?

>>717975554 (OP)
they think the game is so good that they would sell it for $200 if they could
sadly they'll have to settle for $120

>>717975554 (OP)
>People are stupid and pay whatever pricetag we put on it while gaslighting themselves into saying it was worth every penny.

Historians will cite the GTA6 $100 price tag as a sign that the economy was about to enter the great 2026 recession

>>717975554 (OP)
Not buying. Not playing

>>717975915
yeah, probably

>>717975554 (OP)
$80

Regardless of how it plays out someone is getting fucked over in the end.

>>717975554 (OP)
Are you dense? It's not a complicated sentence

>>717975915
nah nobody is going to care about gta6 in 50 years

>>717975554 (OP)
It's just wording that avoids answering the question, which means they're going to obviously price it higher than what you'd expect. It's clearly not going to be $60 because Take-Two were one of the first companies to jump into $70 pricing for video games.

And because he's actively avoiding answering the question, they're going for an $80+ price for the game, undoubtedly. Whether it'll be $80 or $100 is up in the air for now, but they could easily get away with $100 or even $120. It's GTA6. Everyone knows about GTA, it's officially the second biggest video game franchise, and there's no way the average person who plays games or knows about GTA is NOT gonna buy GTA6. They are gonna be charging up the ass for it because they know they can do it.

>>717975554 (OP)
F2P with MTX

>>717976472
true
gta5 is probably the one game that could sell for 100+ without too massive backlash
sure there will still be some online but most of those people will buy the game anyway or never were going to buy it to begin with

>>717975554 (OP)
Cool. I'll watch a streamer play it.

>>717976587
thats what i did for gta5 and it was unironically more fun than playing it myself would have been
like watching some tv with a friend vs on your own

Act like good guys by charging $70 base price but charge $100 to $130 for 5-days early access for premium deluxe editions with some extra skins and maybe future currency for the online portion of the game.

>>717976685
you seem mad

>>717975554 (OP)
It will be $100

>>717975554 (OP)
that it will give you hundreds of play hours on a full story and then another few hundred for online play, and they will charge an elevated price that will cause you to frown but at the same time be at the brink of feeling too much, so you buy it anyway

>>717975554 (OP)
It means this:
>we will deliver MUCH, MUCH LESS value than what we charge

>>717975554 (OP)
It means you'll be able to get it for free on Epic Games store maybe 3 or 4 years after release.

>>717975687
fpbp, they are going to charge 120. It will be funny if they "did not meet expectations" despite the price tag.

>>717975554 (OP)
It means $99,99 with special edition costing $119,99 It will also have """age verification""", you will be doxxed in a few years when R* gets hacked again because lol jeets in charge of security. You will also get banned and reported to the authorities if you act like a chud in the single player game. A small price to pay to play the greatest game ever made..

>sell game with new highest price on current gen
>resell the game with minor improvements on next gen
>reresell the game with minor improvements on PC
>rereresell the game like the PC version in the next next gen
>while using as much microtransactions as possible

>>717975554 (OP)
I haven't played RDR2 or GTAV. I'm not buying a single Rockslop game.

>>717979019
I wouldn't call them slop, out of all the western developers Rockstar games are some of the most polished and high effort games out there. GTAV and especially RDR2 are worth checking out, just pirate to not give them money.

>>717975554 (OP)
It's going to be monthly subscription, using bundled GTA VI as an excuse

>>717975687
Yeah it will be the first $100+ main stream game ($180 premium edition). And you know what, everyone will buy it and it will break all sales records and become a cultural phenomena. Not the actual game, but just the hype around it. It's over.

Hope this shit bombs.

>>717975554 (OP)
I only have a 2006 Intel Pentium laptop with Windows 7 and I watch all the modern game walkthroughs on YouTube.

>>717979290
>GTAV and especially RDR2 are worth checking out,

>>717979290
it is absolutely slop and a massive waste of resources.

>>717975554 (OP)
There have already been devs that have said that it's an open secret in the industry that PS6 games will be $100.

>>717975554 (OP)
the problem with this rhetoric is that 2/3 of gameplay is just driving from place to place

>>717982276
>most popular video game franchise
>"pay to do chores"
People really don't understand the appeal of games, do they?

when will the PC version come out? 2027 or will they wait for next gen consoles to arrive like with gta5

>>717975554 (OP)
If they had balls, they'd launch it f2p with a $10 campaign and lots of online content right off the bat. They'd print money.

>>717975554 (OP)
that means we can fuck underage girls in the game?
if not, who cares, gta is shit.

>>717975554 (OP)
I'll just torrent it.

>>717975554 (OP)
It's marketer's bullshit for "We're going to give you less game content than our last game, but instead make you think you're getting more by giving you a hat with every purchase that's retailed at 19.99, but only cost us 0.96 cents to have manufactured. See! You're getting more value than what we charged!".

It doesn't matter how much of a technical marvel the game will be, it's gonna be as boring as any other Rockstar. I dread the dialogue heavy A to B missions...

>>717983040
name 5 good missions that are not a to b

>>717982276
If they have GTA4 driving physics with a clutch and manual gear changes, it will be dreamy. But they won't because normies can't drive.

>>717975687
I would not be shocked if pre-order was that high for early-access.

>>717981015
Probably this. I won't buy it because I haven't bought any GTA game, but people seem to love their crime fantasy games.

>>717975554 (OP)
>protagonist is a woman (i.e. no crass humor, hair pulling, bleeding, degradation and putting down, manhandling, etc. she has to look good and be a strunk indapyndent wymminz at all times or else it's muhsoggyknees!).
wow it's garbage

>But they won't because normies can't drive.

not everyone is an american, and not even every american is dumb

What will your reaction be when this game doesn't sell as many copies as GTA5?
>BUT DOOD ITS GTA
You underesimate the staying power of a franchise that's been left untouched for 12 years. Not to mention the game's launch will probably be more broken than that of Cyberpunk 2077.

>>717975554 (OP)
>What did they mean by this?
$2,000,000 in-game currency for their shitty rdm lobbies. You want that, right? That's almost enough for your first car and some clown shoes.

>>717983268
I dont believe that they will launch it in a broken state.
But it will probably end up being very lame all around.

>>717983268
>under
OVERestimate lol

>>717975554 (OP)
Marketing speak for the player will feel like the price increase was worth it. I would say you shouldn't buy anything rock faggots make.

>>717983323
There will probably be millions sold in the first few days, a few more million in the coming months and then it'll start slowly falling into a stable 30-50k active users at any given time.
It really depends on how many groups of guys still play those kinds of games coop.

>playtime divided by price
>if it isn't one hour per 20 cent ratio, I ain't buying it

>>717983323
It'll launch with kernel level anti cheat and DRM. Minimum specs will include a 20 series GPU, a CPU made in the last 2-3 years, and at least 32 gigabytes of RAM.

Despite all this, the game will look and run worse than Red Dead 2, which you can play on a PS4/Xbone from 2014 or a PC with an ancient 10 series GPU.

>>717975554 (OP)
>Zero value
>Zero paid

>>717983268
Normies really fucking like this shitty series for some reason, but if they actually crank it to $100, it might be over.

>>717975554 (OP)
$100 dollars
The new standard

>>717975554 (OP)
GTA online lasted for like a decade. They're going to factor that into the price of VI. Expect to pay like $100 for the game.

>>717975554 (OP)
GTA is literally worthless thoughbeit.

>>717976278
Who cares about it now? Some faggy niggers in the cities?

>>717983725
Haven't they fucked over the GTA online fans a million times over already?

>>717975554 (OP)
>base game $30
>online game $30

>>717983725
Don't forget you'll need a subscription for it and a single case of being reported for bigotry will result in your account, both online and offline, being disabled.

>>717976676
>a streamer is my friend

>>717975554 (OP)
i have just gotten a complete and utter distaste for AAA games in the last few years, mainly because of the pricing and how little value you get
not even GTA interests me

Like im paying for this dogshit game

>>717984850
I'd buy it for $30 on sale in 2030. still need to finish rdr2. that game fucking sucks.

>>717975554 (OP)
I'll pirate it for free like always. If it's not on PC day one fuck off

>>717983849
bro thinks he's him :skull:

>>717975554 (OP)
Corporate games are doing this because the dollar is tanking. By next year, its value will fall below 50%. Trump's increase in the military budget seems to be because they are trying to stall the development of China's trade partners and bully other countries into trading with them. It's a shitshow, and since it's a corporate game, it's not worth paying more than $10 because they don't understand how digital games work.
