Apparently, Japan has one of the “cheapest” prices for the game while elsewhere it becomes a rip off for some reason (as referenced, in green: is converted from JPY while in red: is the price of the same thing in USA, Europe, UK, Australia, Brazil & Poland to name a few places).
The thing with pricing is that different countries have their own rules on taxes, so it’s kind of finicky to compare (as US has sales tax added upon checkout while EU includes VAT). The weird part is that both $ and € use the same numerical figures despite them being different currencies, as in 80€ is treated the same as $80 when the conversion does not match at all when you look it up.
I don’t think I can consider it “overpriced” before I even played it. If it’s a 20 hour mediocre story - yeah, it probably is overpriced. But if I put as much time into GTA VI as I’ve put into GTA V, it’s going to be a great deal for me personally.
As of this comment, you had a couple downvotes, and I just want to point out how absurd it is to downvote someone who… Is literally just participating in the conversation prompted by OP.
Agreed. Downvoting for wrongthink is second nature here though, sadly.
