You will pay $100 for your games and you won't do shit about it.

>>718182837 (OP)
Games with hundreds of hours of content should charge more

Why do they keep trying to raise the price of vidya when customers are already struggling to justify luxury goods due to inflation and stagnating wages?

>>718182837 (OP)
I'll gladly pay $100 for GTA 6 if I can breed Lucia's brown latina pussy.

>>718182837 (OP)
I'll buy a new PC and pirate everything like always, get rekt

>>718183240
>game padded with arbitrary "content" is worth more money
A drop of juice in a glass of water is worth more than a drink of pure juice?

>>718183621
In jewconomics, yes

I'd buy GTA VI for 100, and never buy a video game again. Let your faggot marketing directors know that you little faggots

>>718182837 (OP)
Charge whatever you want, I'm just not buying it.

Why do they think people will pay GTA price for non GTA games?

Acting like I won't pirate it lmao

>>718183240
Great I'll make a game were you walk fowards for 100 hours then

How do they not know only about 4 or 5 franchises can get away with asking for 100 bucks? GTA, Call of Duty, Sports shit, Mario related shit and probably Assassins Creed.

>>718182837 (OP)
Yes, I will gladly pay $100 for GTA VI. Doesn't mean I'm going to pay that for other slop tho. Please go ahead, raise your price and go bankrupt kek

>>718182837 (OP)
Nintendo are the only ones that can charge $100 because their games are worth it. The rest of the industry cant.

>>718182837 (OP)
I literally don't care
I hope the price goes up to like $250

>>718183840
This. Little bussy ass nihhas can go ahead and keep charging what the current price is, Rockstar only releases games that move the whole industry forward.
>Rockstar
>Kojima
>Larian and CD Projekt Red share the third position.

That's it, that's the only devs that move things forward and can at least entertain the idea of charging a premium

>>718182837 (OP)
I'd rather have the industry fucking burn than support this bullshit. NO game is worth more than $60

How is this logical at all? Its like saying people will pay 10,000 dollars to eat at a fancy restaurant so they will also pay 10,000 dollars to eat McDonalds

>>718183250
proles will always pay for drugs to forget how shit their lives and bleak their prospects are

escapism is just a mild drug

videogames are escapism

>>718182837 (OP)
I will pay $100 for WMLW/WMBW vidya

>>718182837 (OP)
I hope they will do it and retards will pay 100 for unfinished games
fucking lol

I will keep buying them on a sale 10 years after release because I'm not an idiot with fomo

>>718184238
You can't download free drugs off the internet though

>>718183250
It's a death spiral
Customers leave because price too high
Have to make up the difference by raising prices on those who stayed
Repeat until everyone is gone
Declare bankruptcy, sell assets, give the CEO a huge bonus and a golden parachute
He sails to the next company to do it again

You can thank public trading for it

>THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE $100 FOR GTA VI
>THAT MEANS ALL THE AAA SLOP PUBLISHERS ARE GOING TO START CHARGING MORE FOR THE AAA SLOP
>I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY $100 FOR AAA SLOP
>I CAN'T AFFORD $100 AAA SLOP

>>718182837 (OP)
chances that gta 6 will require secure boot?

>>718184048
$500 plus denuvo would be very funny.

Is the plan to make video games into a thing that only rich people buy so that they just charge extremely high prices and sell to a lower number of people instead of selling at lower prices to larger group of people? Like is the goal to charge like 1000 bucks per game?

I hope they charge tasteless zoomcucks double that AND a season pass, and faggot shark cards

Gonna laugh when it's pozzed as fuck and gonna love the coping/trolling threads on /v/, can't wait desu gonna be a glorious time here

>>718182837 (OP)
I haven't spent more than 19 dollars on a video game since 2009.

I literally do not get their mindset at all. Its like saying that if someone is ok buying a Ferrari for half a million dollars they will be ok buying a ford for the same price. Like what????

Why do they need more money after 3 or 4 delays?

>>718184470
There is an early but active effort to make video games more "premium" yes.

>>718183941
You're late

>>718182837 (OP)
i'll pay 100 for GTA6. If other lesser games attempt to charge that much I will simply not buy. it's easy.

>>718182837 (OP)
Let them charge $1000 USD.

GTA is gonna be goty and burj khalif is just an ugly waste of steel and concrete

>>718184595
I couldn't get into that game. Seemed like a Nintendo collector thon

>>718182837 (OP)
I just won't buy video games lol

>>718184710
>replying to that post and ignoring my car analogy post

>>718182837 (OP)
If games cost $100 then even less people will buy the AAA slop and it'll flop even harder

>>718183240
so fighting games should cost the most?

>>718182837 (OP)
Why would I pay fucking 100 bux for a pozzed game pandering to troons and lgbt alike?

>>718182837 (OP)
You guys do what ya want but I’m out. I’m broke and can’t afford even $80 games.

>>718183240
$1,000,000 Daggerfall remake with no fast travel confirmed

>>718184801
Nah it's more Atari tapper-like

>>718184442
Make it $1000.
I do not care. I don't buy games.

>>718183250
Bar on the graph must always go up. No, it does not matter that video games keep making record profits year after year.

Just wait a year and get it for under $20 like every other video game ever made? Buying games at launch is cringe as fuck.

>>718184470
video games are for rich now, yes. Poors have to join the military and die for Israel.

I haven't played and will not play a Rockstar game after Vice City.

>>718182837 (OP)
There are literally thousands of games I have never played. My backlog alone in in the hundreds. I'll be fine not buying the latest slop.

>>718182837 (OP)
>153.24 AUD for a game
LOL LMAO. Even if I wanted to, I simply can't do that.

Every industry analyst: How could this have happened?

>>718183240
>Gonna need you to copy paste some hallways drop more objectice markers we need to content this bitch up.

No, I literally fucking will not. I don't even buy games at 60 these days with almost no exceptions, as a matter of fact there are few modern games I will even consider buying, so no, never, not even once.

>>718182837 (OP)
*block your path*

>>718182837 (OP)
Counting on it, studios will drop left and right like flies.

>>718185006
Market is stagnant if not shrinking a little (losing more people to free2play) but dev costs keep rising. To keep the current model they need to make up the lost sales and increased costs elsewhere, which is price. So this price increase would just be the start. There will be more increases and PS6 is the next obvious opportunity after GTA.

>>718183240
On my way to go make a game about walking in a straight line for 100,000 miles at 4mph to rake in millions holy shit I'm gonna be fakken rich.

>>718182837 (OP)
Just make shorter games with less filler. I don't need every game to be 60h half of which is radiant shit and other menial tasks. Retro games used to be like 5h or less but had very high replayability. Most 7th gen games were 10-20h with almost no filler.
But now thanks to "fun/hour" fags and other idiots who are overthinking this shit and pushing for empty open worlds we have these massive games packed with filler. Cut out all the filler and other nonsense that is ballooning the budget and go back to $60. But no, they rather offset the massive budgets with high prices like the morons they are and will sooner or later crash this unsustainable industry.

>>718185608
but people wont pay 100 bucks for non turbo normie games like gta and madden. Like if some random AAA game comes out people wont pay 100 bucks for it unless its from an extremely popular franchise

>>718182837 (OP)
nah
i expect this game to be trash but in the off chance that it's good im not getting it until its under 40 usd, there's plenty of top tier games at that price i could play instead

Guise guise guise i'm gunna be fakken rich it's gonne take 25000 hours to complete my game. Indeed it will be worth thousands.

>>718184801
It's boring on purpose because Kojima autism. I appreciate the creative vision but I play games for fun not treat it as an art gallery.

Is it gonna work out for them in the end with the decreased sales the price hike will inevitably cause?

>>718185425
unironically would be another feather in the cap of rockstar
can't wait

>>718185336
>no kidneys
Dumb.

>>718184405
Even if I'm not buying any of this shit it's just wild to watch these sort of business practices slowly start taking place.

>>718185725
Plenty of those though. Sony, Nintendo, FromSoft, EA, 2K, Capcom, Bethesda, etc.

I honestly hope they do this shit, and I hope it backfires so spectacularly that the ones involves react like investors do when the stock market collapses.

>>718186492
It will be even funnier when certain studios decide the marketing boost from pricing games "fairly" at what they currently are is worth more than the slight revenue boost/loss of sales from increasing prices.
All out war.

It's okay when Rockstar of David does it!

>>718186212
Had to sell them for gta money. Please understand.

>>718182837 (OP)
I don't get GTA fans

>>718186901
One death spiral you could see is a failed game followed by its publisher raising prices further to adjust for lowered sales. That would be a weaker publisher that believes their games are more valuable than they actually are.

>>718182837 (OP)
I haven't bought any game released in the past two years and I don't see that ever changing.

I don't think I've ever paid even $60 for a game. I could buy like 1 TB SSD for $100 and download 10-50 games instead

why is it that whenever i hear about gta, it's always something cancerous

I'm okay with this. Do it GTA. Make that game $300. Slap a $25 monthly sub on it too if you wanna do multiplayer activities. lmao

>>718183250
We wouldn't have to make everything more expensive if goyim would just give all of our money back to us. All money in the world rightfully belongs to G-d's Chosen People.

>>718187462
Exactly. We should be cheering them on. Skies the limit. I hope they make this game extremely painful for anyone to purchase, and I hope other companies follow suit. (so we can watch them all fail together)

>>718183240
This was the mentality my friend had when I asked him why he spent 2000 euros on league of legends
He killed himself 12 years later

>>718184560
2 billion
woah... imagine all the high quality nigger rendering technology...

A lot of people do that already with the $100 5-days early access premium deluxe edition of games. I bet a lot of people who bought Battlefield 6 and making it a top seller already bought the Phantom Edition which just has some extra skins and a battle pass that you can skip 25 tiers.

GTA6 isn't going to outsell GTA5, screen shot this post!

Why are GTA fans like this

>>718182837 (OP)
why would I care what other people pay for video games when I get all of them for free either way?

>YOU'LL HECKIN LE BUY IT ANYWAY CHUD!!!!!!!
I think the /v/ermin spamming this are like 12 years old. I haven't bought a game on release for 7 years. I might buy GTA6 on a key site 10 years after release, and I might not.

So this this the modern day locust
