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.

      Yup. For every idiot like this, there’s an indie game or even a Larian Studios offering MUCH better bang for your bucks.

        That was before they started diarrhea shitting themselves since the founders left. GTA Trilogy, GTA+, and removing cars people paid for in Online is just a taste of things to come.

          I specifically mean their in-house single player games, so only GTA V and RDR2 for the last decade.

            That’s what I mean, Rockstar was a brand you could trust until after RDR2. Founders left right after and you can see how things changed right after.

        Too bad it will be at a minimum $70, and i bet with the hype, even $80, while also being chockful of microtransactions.

          It’s Rockstar Games, they love microtransactions and Sharkcards and will more than likely implement more greed tactics into their next big game (GTA 6). I’m still pissed off over the bilking they did with the bunker series in GTA 5. They’re a ruthless, greedy company. And don’t forget those times they went after those fanboys/talented game designers who were revamping their old games like GTA 4. Those kids were super talented and Rockstar busted their asses like the mobsters they are. Fuck Rockstar and their next GTA greed fest.

            Don’t call them mobsters, they probably think that sounds cool. More like corporate sell outs.
