No way in hell im paying $100 for gta 6, or any game. Anyone who tries to justify this, or call others broke for not wanting to pay that much is a fool.
I agree. But people said the same about Sharkcards for GTA Online. Everyone complained but enough people bought it for Rockstar to consider it a "good move".

@ For sure. I 100% agree with you. I am just of opinion that the world is filled with "Mindless consumers", making it so that companies can do these kind of CRAZY things and just get away with it AND make a bigger profit. For the 10 people that know it's better to not buy it to make a point, there are probably 100 that buy it because of FOMO. This situation kind of is the fault of us, the consumers, because we kept buying "SharkCards" after complaining about. Now Rockstar doesn't take people serious anymore because "They will buy it anyways". Rockstar is still SCUM for trying tho. They don't care about their fans, they care about their wallets. Won't amaze me anymore if Online needs to be bought separately for another 30/40 bucks. You for sure made a great point and I stand behind your point too. Unfortunately, the Majority of humanity probably is stupid enough to give in. Let's hope I am wrong. 😁
@DigitalPand3mic with steam sales being as prevalent as they are I don't even buy games for $60 now. I wait til something is $40 or less. Most these $70 games drop to 40 in a month or so anyways. So they can get bent for $100.

Are you actually serious? No. I'm. Sorry. Please go give your head a shake. Wake up. Then come back and give one good reasons as to why you should pay for something before you own it or know anything about it? Tf you asking for a reason not to? Literally give one reason why you should? Tf
The most fundamental rule of economics taught in my economics 101 class: Supply and Demand. The more you raise a price, the fewer people willing to shell out money for the product. I can't help but wonder if whatever "analyst" says that higher prices will "save the industry" is assuming that there's no corresponding drop in gamers willing to shell out money for the full priced game, or that there won't be a significant drop.

Yea, I played RDR2's story mode twice and loved it (gold medal achievement was a bitch). I was looking forward to spending the same amount of time in the online mode. However, due to boredom I stopped playing after only a month.
If gaming devs want to sell more games.... Lower the FKing price. There's roughly 500 million+ unique gamers around the world, if not many more. If charging £70 for "Call of Duty" (as an example), and you can only sell 10 million+ copies, which is roughly only 2% of your target market buying your game - something it VERY WRONG.

Rockstar starts forcing D.E.I. courses , The main devs leave Rockstar, Rockstar starts hiring people who worked out of the same building as Sweet Baby Inc, and now they start having a need to charge $100 for the standard edition. Same woke MO different studio.
Imagine waiting a 3rd of your life for that game and its totally based on woke Agendas which is now gone anyway... that'd be a wake up call for the whole Industry if GTA FAILS BECAUSE OF WOKEISM
Perhaps games should all be at different price points, depending on what you're getting, same as with buying a car (i.e GTA would be like a Lambo, and SW Outlaws a Pinto).
If it’s woke I will not be paying even $1.00 for it. Just because it is gta6 does NOT mean it will be the best selling no matter what. Play around with it if you want to rockstar.
Less w0k3 games (in focus with good story telling) would make lot of money without 100 dollar pricetag. But nobody cares, because there are a lot of subscription modells, and the end of the day there are too many people who will pay for the trash too with these subscriptions. Buy few, good games, but buy it for "lifetime".
Haven’t played any GTA since the very first one. Don’t believe there is as big an appetite for GTA6 that one imagines, people who grew up with GTA5 have grown up themselves, got jobs, got families. Have other priorities. Traditional games will turn down purchasing this game if it’s woke, LGBTQ, trans …. It could easily end up getting destroyed by real gamers.
"Needs" What am i going to get for 100 bucks? A game full of content, freebies, physical exclusives that aren't made from cheap nylon? Or a bare platform to spend more money on? In case of latter, i refuse.
If the price goes up you think channels like "before you buy" will start thriving until they get bought out by Triple A companies or you think people will just play older games?
GTA 6 is being used as a trojan horse to increase prices all around. This is gonna be the biggest most debated and talked about flop of all time that's gonna have insane affects on the industry as a whole.
$100 is just ridiculous. I won't get this game unless it's on sale max. I will honestly laugh if Rockstar Games ends up like Ubisoft and Bioware. I literally just realized most games after Covid suck!!!
World of Warcraft or Skyrim were probaby the most anticipated releases in history...but I get it. ofc no one wants to pay $100 for a game...the whole idea is dumb...costs for movies are roughply on par with games and yet movie ticket prices are a fraction of those of games...it's the biggest lie in the gaming industry that you even need to charge $50 for a AAA title..it's just nonsense.
Computer games have always needed to be affordable to be a working industry. If they price themselves out of the market piracy surges. I am not here to argue moralities, just the truth. Look at the piracy surges after streaming industries kept raising prices. In a digital world you can’t win the battle against piracy, you can only put a reasonable price tag on it that your target market can easily afford. Games aren’t a necessity, and they are easy to crack and mass distribute.
Guys, no one is forcing anyone to buy this game. There are plenty of games on steam that are on sale. Go play those and wait for GTA 6 to go on sale in the (far) future. The price is something only the developers can control and we all know they want to maximize their profits. This is the reality of how this works. I personally play my games only on PC so most titles like GTA will not come out for years before I can enjoy them. By that time I will be switching out my RTX 5090 (I have an Asus Astral 5090 OC on pre-order) to a 6090 and have a totally new CPU, MB, RAM, Monitor etc. by then.
Imagine paying 100 dollars for- $100 for call of duty unfinished $100 Assassin’s creed unfinished $100 for 2k more micro transactions $100 for the same madden game 10 years ago At that point Gamepass is gettin my money
I recently downloaded GTA 4, and I absolutely love it. You can definitely tell what the humor was like back in 2008, but that is what makes the game so appealing. Not to mention the story had a much more serious and darker tone. GTA 5 still has mostly the same offensive edgy humor, but I personally felt that it leaned too much into the middle school sex humor and ghetto hood talk. The story was a lot less serious, but it was still very enjoyable to go blow random stuff up and cause mayhem. GTA 6, however, sounds like it’s going to be woke garbage filled with sanitized humor and intensity on par with My Little Pony. The reason why GTA was popular to begin with is because it pushed boundaries. You take that away, you have nothing.
🤷🏼♂️ after Rockstar screwed all the single players fans that built their brand for cash grab multiplayer bs and starting going woke and greedy I am NOT at all excited about it
They can increase the price, but at least it just matters what we are willing to spend. We still get 60$ games, some are 65$ some are 70$. The new Dynasty Warriors they will have 80$. So they already try to push the price. And there will be always some who just don't care because they have enough money, but on the flip side more and more people struggle to finance their life. Jump in a game for 30$ you can do more often, but a 70$ game, I already think twice and than think twice again later. Is there any red flag I wait, is there anything I dislike I wait for a discount. But a 100$ game means to me I wait at least for a 50% discount, period. And games like Assassin's Creed I wouldn't even buy with a 80% discount, because of the predator monetization scam. On the other side I am totally fine to pay 60$ for Elden Ring and again 40$ for the DLC, because the game don't try to scam me. So just because GTA increase the price it don't mean we will buy any other game at this price. There are some exceptions like GTA, Fifa, NBA, CoD, Battlefield and maybe even a few more who can increase the price to 100$ standard edition immediately and the majority of their player base will pay. Because a lot of players of these specific games play only one, two maybe three of this very specific games and nothing else. And I am kind of happy that PayStation releases their games after a longer period of time to PC. Because now I know that God of War Ragnarök and Spider-Man 2 have a much worse story compared to the previous games. But just based in this previous games I would have bought them at release and regret it. But now I know they are worse so I don't have to buy or play them (as long as PSN is required not at all, if they change it later I would give them a try just because of the gameplay but at a big discount).
I’m not buying any game for 100 bucks at the standard edition. Hell I drop that on ultimate editions and up. I’m just gonna play Ananata when it comes out. (It’s basically anime GTA)
1) the only reason the need to make huge money is that they WASTE huge money! 2) go ahead charge 200$ for a game i dont own. I will wait till it is on sale for 20$ or I will wait till hell freezes. gamers are just to "thirsty" for their own good. it is like chasing anything else. they know you will do anything for it, they will make you pay everything. walk away, there are thousands of other games or even other things to do. have some pride.
GTA 6 being $100!? you know if we go to a new generation where there's a PlayStation 6, where every game is now over $100, I am opting out getting any game at that point. 60$ or 70$ is okay but 80 or 100 is too far. You gotta be out of your mind and getting any game that's at least $100 or over. This situation is just even worse than the PlayStation 5 pro. everybody knows overpricing a product will never boost sales to an average consumer. Especially to a game that's so ambitious to the gaming community like GTA 6.
I can't wait for Ananta! And they didn't take a decade to make. Shame on RockStar. I lost hopes for them after RDR2 online with lack of updates and missions, activities or mini games online.
100$ is too much. I was never a gta fan, so i dont plan on buying it anyway. In last 2 years i am really picky with buying games, so i buy the one that i really want to play. After a while other get discounted or i just wait for discounts. its not that important for me to buy games on day 1. and i always wait for reviews.
If they go with that price I will wait for a sale. No game is worth that :) And Studio is the same just a brand. How many of the good Devs are still there?
Already decided not to buy GTA6, got too many RPG's already aside from plenty of other games that also need my attention. And if the AAA companies are realy adamant about setting the price to 100$ then i can simply go for the same excuse for not buying them and maybe wait for the sales if i really want one of those games. At my age, being patient comes natural to me.
If they release their crap at 100 euro, then I'm gonna pirate the game from Torrent plain and simple Not gonna buy any game that goes above 77 euro, Let alone 100 Piracy is here to save the day from these corporate scammers
What it is going to do is making the other developers sell even less. Raising prices for studios that are struggling under the woke guides they are going to sell even less to maybe close to nothing. Since the price hike in 2023 games in general have been selling less and now they want to increase even more the price. Gaming journalists are a cancer on this industry. They need to be cauterized or they are going to do their best to bury this industry.
I don't buy games on release, I wait for them to go on sale at half price, which now a days it's like 4 months later lol. I don't watch teaser trailers nothing. I will even wait for a game like a year later, as long as I get it at at least 70 percent off. This is including consoles, I still don't have a PS5, and thank goodness I don't, nothing exciting there, until Doom Dark Ages comes out at least.
Yeah no I only paid 200 dollars for two games 1.re 2 remake collectors edition 2. Kingdom come deliverance 2 collectors edition and both times I saved up tiny amounts of money over a period of months
My view is this, GTA5 was only there best selling game cause they kept re-releasing the game despite the garbage story, they screwed up their trilogy yet most will sadly still buy gta6 even if its trash giving these other corporations an excuse to make their own trash 100$ when the quality is not worth it
People waste money on BS day in, day out. Gta6 at $100 will have no problem selling out. A year later it will be half priced. Hell probably a quarter of the price as sales start to level.
Dont so sure about GTA, SBI has been involved with GTA6 from beginning of the development. About half of the original developers has left the company, on ambigious ground. So Rockstar is not Rokstar anymore, just like BioWare. So they need to deliver big time, and it will be interesting how much rockstar have listened to SBI.. Adding a greedy price hike on top of this, and this may be the biggest flop in Gaming history for the next 100 years! GTA6 needs to sell about 25M with a 60$ price tag. If the rumoured 1.4B $ budget is true, and that would not suprise me. If they game will be 100$, that is of course lower, but how many day one or within the first month players will you lose. And by the time it comes for sale, for ordinary price tag. Any lackluster gameplay, will be revealed for sure. This will be interesting! I myself, is already not pre order because of SBI, Im waiting for proper reviews or playthrough. And if its 100$, I wont get it on principles alone! No way, such greed will get me, we still got the old game ;)
If the price raises to 100 then I simply won't buy it untill the price goes down to $30 😂 if it's $69,99 I can think about getting it , if it's not woke that is .. if it's woke I will never buy it , if it's not woke then 69,99 is enough . If they ask more then that then I will wait untill it's at least 30/35 . So they lose 50% ..
Yeah, no. In fact, hell no. $100 price will turn me non-buy-nary. And if there’s the slightest hint of pandering or wokeness or identity politics in it, it will be a hard pass for me. There’s always GTA V to play.
the phrasse "Never buy a Cat in a Bag" exists within the very same world people pre order games. Knowing that tells Me all I need to know to be able to tell. most will view 30$ and 40$ more as still "worth it" only way for a game this popular to do worse is to go the same path dragon age took. and GTA is far too mainstream. so, the price will rise as much as they can get way with it , cause when it cames to gaming they already get away with loot boxes and micro microtransactions for years. yet all of that won't stop most of the comment section to boast how they won't buy it. and some will say they get on sale. which when you talk about rock star game that's full on cope mode. so bottom. people haven't learned a damn thing for every 1 person that say they won't get it there are a 100 that would. (and counted among them are some of the people that said they won't). P.S goochie bag is over priced bag.... people still paying, and part of it is, because it's over priced.
95% of people who say that they won't buy it for $100 will buy it day1 or even preorder. People can't control themselfes. If you want to not get hyped ask yourself this: What could gta6 do to be so much better than gta5. In a realistic setting what could they do, what they didn't already do? What would you miss out on, if you don't play it? For me: I am not even that hyped. You will drive around and shoot people 90% of the time. Is that really worth being so hyped for?
If GTA 6 is woke… I’m taking a break from gaming. I’m tired of the representation, the cringe dialogue and the needless censorship in a rated M game. I’m only buying old games and games made by Asians.
I really don't care about GTA6, i see people who think and are not easily bought by a teaser trailer. ( I love smart people who have critical thinking, i hate basic people who are easy to be manipulated and love to point fingers to feel self centered. ) I will not pay 100€ to buy a code, if i don't owe that game i am not interested.
when i heard most of the people who run the show over there back before rdr2 launched left that's when i knew i wasn't getting gta 6, pattern recognition proved true when i heard they were toning the jokes down and while they may be subjective i knew it meant the Rockstar of old is gone, and of course the price possibly being $100 is just the cherry on top of this shit cake i will never drop $70 on a game, much less a game that's going to be a massive grind, rampant with DEI bullshit, terribly written, and will most likely still have micro-transactions, oh and lets not forget they still haven't said anything about a release on PC, god forbid we don't wanna buy a worthless weak ass console with an overpriced subscription.
Yea this is gonna crash and burn. just the constant bloat of it all. Honestly, even if the graphics and so much more are top tier and almost cinematic. i bet it would be horrid, especialy if the story is trash, the characters are annoying and preachy or there being some sort of "insert token character to do said thing, cause we need to cover all demographics" sort of thing. Then again i will never a game like this, even if it was free of DEI, especialy if it had a pricetag that high
I’m not buying woke gta 6 cr@p! Not buying at $60 and definitely not buying at $100. The economy is not good enough for $100 games and definitely not for woke cr@p! No thanks!
I highly doubt it’ll succeed if they actually make the standard edition 100 bucks they’ll just result it in a 90% flop only people that are well off will be able to afford it meanwhile some more financially beneficial majority, (despite people are arguing with me for the past 20 years about the accuracy of this claim) most teams and kids yes I said kids all of them are going to be alienated from GTA, which isn’t going to be good for the game. I’ll be at they shouldn’t be playing this game anyway, but we all know parents don’t always understand games, especially older parents or parents easily cave into their kids demands. There’s probably gonna be a lot of adults. I’d rather buy groceries or a five dollar game rather than spent 100 bucks on a game. They’re not entirely certain they even like in which case they would have officially wasted money and it’s not like they can get that hundred dollars back because, you’ve already played it and it’s not like stores both physical and digital would be willing to give you a refund or even be willing to pay you $100 to get it from you instead of offer you significantly less. Journalist truly are the enemy of gamers and that gaming industry. They just want to set the entire industry of flame. We all know this and we also know that especially the woke cult, especially want to destroy the gaming industry because they’re jealous. They’re not getting enough attention and they’re gonna be petty as hell that you’re not obeying their every command or senselessly throwing money at them.
Lmfao, 100 game... now they can kiis my azz. Indie games, here is ur chance to steal the show. I may start a game company now because i know i can do far better.
Well ill be playing on PC, so they will probably release a pc verssion after about a year or so, so that gives me time enough to investigate the new GTA VI, is it to "woke" for my liking or does it costs to much like that 100 dollar, then i will not buy it. I have been playing GTA from the beginning so GTA 1 with only abbove view, but what has happened since GTA V is verry worrinïng. And maybe GTA V is the last one i bought.

Exactly what im saying cause fuck the pc gamers right rockstar
How about $99.99? it's a one time deal, don't miss out!
If I wanted to pay $100 to be lectured to I would take a community college night course.
I agree, I'm out, I won't be buying it myself for $100 unless it goes on sale or my brother gets sick of it and sends it to me for free.... 🤑🙈🙉🙊
If it’s woke I will not be paying even $1.00 for it. Just because it is gta6 does NOT mean it will be the best selling no matter what. Play around with it if you want to rockstar.
Less w0k3 games (in focus with good story telling) would make lot of money without 100 dollar pricetag. But nobody cares, because there are a lot of subscription modells, and the end of the day there are too many people who will pay for the trash too with these subscriptions. Buy few, good games, but buy it for "lifetime".
Haven’t played any GTA since the very first one.
Don’t believe there is as big an appetite for GTA6 that one imagines, people who grew up with GTA5 have grown up themselves, got jobs, got families. Have other priorities.
Traditional games will turn down purchasing this game if it’s woke, LGBTQ, trans …. It could easily end up getting destroyed by real gamers.
"Needs"
What am i going to get for 100 bucks? A game full of content, freebies, physical exclusives that aren't made from cheap nylon?
Or a bare platform to spend more money on?
In case of latter, i refuse.
I have enough backlog I can wait a year or two and buy the ultimate edition for $60 or even $50 on sale.
If that's the case, I'll get it on a 5 dollar discount. I have plenty of unfinished games.
If the price goes up you think channels like "before you buy" will start thriving until they get bought out by Triple A companies or you think people will just play older games?
0:14 Rocksteady? From Tmnt??
GTA 6 is being used as a trojan horse to increase prices all around. This is gonna be the biggest most debated and talked about flop of all time that's gonna have insane affects on the industry as a whole.
$100 is just ridiculous. I won't get this game unless it's on sale max. I will honestly laugh if Rockstar Games ends up like Ubisoft and Bioware. I literally just realized most games after Covid suck!!!
that will never work out £50 is reasonable enough £70 is pushing it but £100 that's only for collector editions
World of Warcraft or Skyrim were probaby the most anticipated releases in history...but I get it.
ofc no one wants to pay $100 for a game...the whole idea is dumb...costs for movies are roughply on par with games and yet movie ticket prices are a fraction of those of games...it's the biggest lie in the gaming industry that you even need to charge $50 for a AAA title..it's just nonsense.
Computer games have always needed to be affordable to be a working industry. If they price themselves out of the market piracy surges. I am not here to argue moralities, just the truth.
Look at the piracy surges after streaming industries kept raising prices. In a digital world you can’t win the battle against piracy, you can only put a reasonable price tag on it that your target market can easily afford. Games aren’t a necessity, and they are easy to crack and mass distribute.
Guys, no one is forcing anyone to buy this game. There are plenty of games on steam that are on sale. Go play those and wait for GTA 6 to go on sale in the (far) future. The price is something only the developers can control and we all know they want to maximize their profits. This is the reality of how this works. I personally play my games only on PC so most titles like GTA will not come out for years before I can enjoy them. By that time I will be switching out my RTX 5090 (I have an Asus Astral 5090 OC on pre-order) to a 6090 and have a totally new CPU, MB, RAM, Monitor etc. by then.
when they all start pushing the same stories, they are being paid to be pushing those stories...it's not journalism, it's a commercial(werbung)
Imagine paying 100 dollars for-
$100 for call of duty unfinished
$100 Assassin’s creed unfinished
$100 for 2k more micro transactions
$100 for the same madden game 10 years ago
At that point Gamepass is gettin my money
I recently downloaded GTA 4, and I absolutely love it. You can definitely tell what the humor was like back in 2008, but that is what makes the game so appealing. Not to mention the story had a much more serious and darker tone.
GTA 5 still has mostly the same offensive edgy humor, but I personally felt that it leaned too much into the middle school sex humor and ghetto hood talk. The story was a lot less serious, but it was still very enjoyable to go blow random stuff up and cause mayhem.
GTA 6, however, sounds like it’s going to be woke garbage filled with sanitized humor and intensity on par with My Little Pony. The reason why GTA was popular to begin with is because it pushed boundaries. You take that away, you have nothing.
🤷🏼♂️ after Rockstar screwed all the single players fans that built their brand for cash grab multiplayer bs and starting going woke and greedy I am NOT at all excited about it
They can increase the price, but at least it just matters what we are willing to spend. We still get 60$ games, some are 65$ some are 70$. The new Dynasty Warriors they will have 80$. So they already try to push the price. And there will be always some who just don't care because they have enough money, but on the flip side more and more people struggle to finance their life. Jump in a game for 30$ you can do more often, but a 70$ game, I already think twice and than think twice again later. Is there any red flag I wait, is there anything I dislike I wait for a discount. But a 100$ game means to me I wait at least for a 50% discount, period. And games like Assassin's Creed I wouldn't even buy with a 80% discount, because of the predator monetization scam. On the other side I am totally fine to pay 60$ for Elden Ring and again 40$ for the DLC, because the game don't try to scam me.
So just because GTA increase the price it don't mean we will buy any other game at this price.
There are some exceptions like GTA, Fifa, NBA, CoD, Battlefield and maybe even a few more who can increase the price to 100$ standard edition immediately and the majority of their player base will pay. Because a lot of players of these specific games play only one, two maybe three of this very specific games and nothing else.
And I am kind of happy that PayStation releases their games after a longer period of time to PC. Because now I know that God of War Ragnarök and Spider-Man 2 have a much worse story compared to the previous games. But just based in this previous games I would have bought them at release and regret it. But now I know they are worse so I don't have to buy or play them (as long as PSN is required not at all, if they change it later I would give them a try just because of the gameplay but at a big discount).
I don’t care how long it’s been since gta 5 I refuse to pay $100 for a base game
I’m not buying any game for 100 bucks at the standard edition. Hell I drop that on ultimate editions and up. I’m just gonna play Ananata when it comes out. (It’s basically anime GTA)
They're gonna re-release GTA6 on the next 4 generations of consoles anyways, they can make their money over time, no need to rush it.
Mainstream media should push for all companies to give all employees a 20.00 dollar raise. Go ahead tell me I am wrong!
1) the only reason the need to make huge money is that they WASTE huge money!
2) go ahead charge 200$ for a game i dont own. I will wait till it is on sale for 20$ or I will wait till hell freezes.
gamers are just to "thirsty" for their own good. it is like chasing anything else. they know you will do anything for it, they will make you pay everything.
walk away, there are thousands of other games or even other things to do. have some pride.
GTA 6 being $100!? you know if we go to a new generation where there's a PlayStation 6, where every game is now over $100, I am opting out getting any game at that point. 60$ or 70$ is okay but 80 or 100 is too far. You gotta be out of your mind and getting any game that's at least $100 or over. This situation is just even worse than the PlayStation 5 pro. everybody knows overpricing a product will never boost sales to an average consumer. Especially to a game that's so ambitious to the gaming community like GTA 6.
I can't wait for Ananta! And they didn't take a decade to make. Shame on RockStar. I lost hopes for them after RDR2 online with lack of updates and missions, activities or mini games online.
100$ is too much. I was never a gta fan, so i dont plan on buying it anyway.
In last 2 years i am really picky with buying games, so i buy the one that i really want to play. After a while other get discounted or i just wait for discounts.
its not that important for me to buy games on day 1. and i always wait for reviews.
If they go with that price I will wait for a sale. No game is worth that :) And Studio is the same just a brand. How many of the good Devs are still there?
$40 max, and that's in Cdn dollars for me. I can wait or pass pretty easily
Already decided not to buy GTA6, got too many RPG's already aside from plenty of other games that also need my attention.
And if the AAA companies are realy adamant about setting the price to 100$ then i can simply go for the same excuse for not buying them and maybe wait for the sales if i really want one of those games. At my age, being patient comes natural to me.
Imagine paying $100 for Dustborn, Concord, Unknown 9? They think this will help the industry?😂😂😂. How about this: Make good games!!!!!!!!!
If they release their crap at 100 euro, then I'm gonna pirate the game from Torrent plain and simple
Not gonna buy any game that goes above 77 euro, Let alone 100
Piracy is here to save the day from these corporate scammers
What it is going to do is making the other developers sell even less. Raising prices for studios that are struggling under the woke guides they are going to sell even less to maybe close to nothing. Since the price hike in 2023 games in general have been selling less and now they want to increase even more the price. Gaming journalists are a cancer on this industry. They need to be cauterized or they are going to do their best to bury this industry.
I don't buy games on release, I wait for them to go on sale at half price, which now a days it's like 4 months later lol. I don't watch teaser trailers nothing. I will even wait for a game like a year later, as long as I get it at at least 70 percent off. This is including consoles, I still don't have a PS5, and thank goodness I don't, nothing exciting there, until Doom Dark Ages comes out at least.
Yeah no I only paid 200 dollars for two games 1.re 2 remake collectors edition 2. Kingdom come deliverance 2 collectors edition and both times I saved up tiny amounts of money over a period of months
My view is this, GTA5 was only there best selling game cause they kept re-releasing the game despite the garbage story, they screwed up their trilogy yet most will sadly still buy gta6 even if its trash giving these other corporations an excuse to make their own trash 100$ when the quality is not worth it
People waste money on BS day in, day out. Gta6 at $100 will have no problem selling out. A year later it will be half priced. Hell probably a quarter of the price as sales start to level.
GTA can get away with it, anyone else trying to do it will kill their games dead at launch.
I'm not paying $100. For a game I don't care what it does.
Who told yall GTA 6 would be $100? Why would they put that in the atmosphere? UA-camrs take suspicious rumors and spread them like a virus.
I have never gave 2 shits about GTA or the shit company
Dont so sure about GTA, SBI has been involved with GTA6 from beginning of the development. About half of the original developers has left the company, on ambigious ground. So Rockstar is not Rokstar anymore, just like BioWare. So they need to deliver big time, and it will be interesting how much rockstar have listened to SBI..
Adding a greedy price hike on top of this, and this may be the biggest flop in Gaming history for the next 100 years! GTA6 needs to sell about 25M with a 60$ price tag. If the rumoured 1.4B $ budget is true, and that would not suprise me. If they game will be 100$, that is of course lower, but how many day one or within the first month players will you lose. And by the time it comes for sale, for ordinary price tag. Any lackluster gameplay, will be revealed for sure.
This will be interesting! I myself, is already not pre order because of SBI, Im waiting for proper reviews or playthrough. And if its 100$, I wont get it on principles alone! No way, such greed will get me, we still got the old game ;)
If the price raises to 100 then I simply won't buy it untill the price goes down to $30 😂 if it's $69,99 I can think about getting it , if it's not woke that is .. if it's woke I will never buy it , if it's not woke then 69,99 is enough . If they ask more then that then I will wait untill it's at least 30/35 . So they lose 50% ..
Yeah, no. In fact, hell no. $100 price will turn me non-buy-nary. And if there’s the slightest hint of pandering or wokeness or identity politics in it, it will be a hard pass for me. There’s always GTA V to play.
the phrasse "Never buy a Cat in a Bag" exists within the very same world people pre order games.
Knowing that tells Me all I need to know to be able to tell. most will view 30$ and 40$ more as still "worth it" only way for a game this popular to do worse is to go the same path dragon age took.
and GTA is far too mainstream.
so, the price will rise as much as they can get way with it , cause when it cames to gaming they already get away with loot boxes and micro microtransactions for years.
yet all of that won't stop most of the comment section to boast how they won't buy it. and some will say they get on sale. which when you talk about rock star game that's full on cope mode.
so bottom. people haven't learned a damn thing for every 1 person that say they won't get it there are a 100 that would. (and counted among them are some of the people that said they won't).
P.S goochie bag is over priced bag.... people still paying, and part of it is, because it's over priced.
95% of people who say that they won't buy it for $100 will buy it day1 or even preorder. People can't control themselfes.
If you want to not get hyped ask yourself this: What could gta6 do to be so much better than gta5. In a realistic setting what could they do, what they didn't already do? What would you miss out on, if you don't play it?
For me: I am not even that hyped. You will drive around and shoot people 90% of the time. Is that really worth being so hyped for?
Fuck that the game will be overt $150 in Australia not touching it if they are going to do that or any other franchise that thinks about it
If GTA 6 is woke… I’m taking a break from gaming.
I’m tired of the representation, the cringe dialogue and the needless censorship in a rated M game.
I’m only buying old games and games made by Asians.
I really don't care about GTA6, i see people who think and are not easily bought by a teaser trailer. ( I love smart people who have critical thinking, i hate basic people who are easy to be manipulated and love to point fingers to feel self centered. ) I will not pay 100€ to buy a code, if i don't owe that game i am not interested.
when i heard most of the people who run the show over there back before rdr2 launched left that's when i knew i wasn't getting gta 6, pattern recognition proved true when i heard they were toning the jokes down and while they may be subjective i knew it meant the Rockstar of old is gone, and of course the price possibly being $100 is just the cherry on top of this shit cake i will never drop $70 on a game, much less a game that's going to be a massive grind, rampant with DEI bullshit, terribly written, and will most likely still have micro-transactions, oh and lets not forget they still haven't said anything about a release on PC, god forbid we don't wanna buy a worthless weak ass console with an overpriced subscription.
oh I cant wait to go CARMAGEDDON in this game :D muahahahahaaa you know what I mean!! ;)
"I think it a fact that gta6 is the most anticipated release in history " yeah to normies and casuals its the epitome of the casuals game
Yea this is gonna crash and burn. just the constant bloat of it all. Honestly, even if the graphics and so much more are top tier and almost cinematic. i bet it would be horrid, especialy if the story is trash, the characters are annoying and preachy or there being some sort of "insert token character to do said thing, cause we need to cover all demographics" sort of thing. Then again i will never a game like this, even if it was free of DEI, especialy if it had a pricetag that high
I’m not buying woke gta 6 cr@p! Not buying at $60 and definitely not buying at $100. The economy is not good enough for $100 games and definitely not for woke cr@p! No thanks!
ill buy a handful of indie games before i pay a hundred for base game. unless it was really good and that aint it.
I highly doubt it’ll succeed if they actually make the standard edition 100 bucks they’ll just result it in a 90% flop only people that are well off will be able to afford it meanwhile some more financially beneficial majority, (despite people are arguing with me for the past 20 years about the accuracy of this claim) most teams and kids yes I said kids all of them are going to be alienated from GTA, which isn’t going to be good for the game. I’ll be at they shouldn’t be playing this game anyway, but we all know parents don’t always understand games, especially older parents or parents easily cave into their kids demands. There’s probably gonna be a lot of adults. I’d rather buy groceries or a five dollar game rather than spent 100 bucks on a game. They’re not entirely certain they even like in which case they would have officially wasted money and it’s not like they can get that hundred dollars back because, you’ve already played it and it’s not like stores both physical and digital would be willing to give you a refund or even be willing to pay you $100 to get it from you instead of offer you significantly less.
Journalist truly are the enemy of gamers and that gaming industry. They just want to set the entire industry of flame. We all know this and we also know that especially the woke cult, especially want to destroy the gaming industry because they’re jealous. They’re not getting enough attention and they’re gonna be petty as hell that you’re not obeying their every command or senselessly throwing money at them.
Well shitty as mobile games make shit Tons of money. That is the main problem.
Lmfao, 100 game... now they can kiis my azz. Indie games, here is ur chance to steal the show. I may start a game company now because i know i can do far better.
I despise Woke games GTA6 is dead to me and I will actively discourage people from buying!
Shark cards don't make money then or what lmao 🤣😂
Well ill be playing on PC, so they will probably release a pc verssion after about a year or so, so that gives me time enough to investigate the new GTA VI, is it to "woke" for my liking or does it costs to much like that 100 dollar, then i will not buy it. I have been playing GTA from the beginning so GTA 1 with only abbove view, but what has happened since GTA V is verry worrinïng.
And maybe GTA V is the last one i bought.
