GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com)

While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

He can still go fuck himself. I was promised single player DLC in GTA 5 and instead they put their entire focus on GTA online which I'm sure will continue with 6. I'll probably pirate it because, as much as I hate to admit it I'm still a fan, but I'm not giving them another cent.

"I will pirate because you didnt give me sp dlc" is one of the craziest reasons ahaha. GTA 5 was good value all things considered, was a great game.

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree. It had plenty of content to make up for its price tag.

I agree with the general sentiment of boo for not making dlc. but if your proposition is "i'm going to pirate your next game" then you're probably just pushing them further into a direction you don't want them to go.

It's rockstar, they've enough money to not give a fuck no matter what.

They were not going to shift course on game design based on a single sale turned pirate

If you think that giant companies don't look at social media responses to their games in order to make future decisions, I have a bridge to sell you.

If you think that companies look at social media more than their own sales metrics, then Ive probably already sold you a bridge and have a loyalty program for you to sign up for, to get 15% off your next purchase

I've been part of Community Management at a major studio, and I was told to stop 'wasting their time' with customer feedback, so which bridge is it?

Odds that you can name the studio?

I can deflect the doxxing slightly by saying it's more than one. The first rhymes with Wicrosoft and the other is too small and would definitely doxx me. However I have friends all over the industry, and can confirm identical reactions from places with names similar to Acti... mizion, Sledge..wammer Ztudios, 434... endustries, Pioware.. Grames?
