    Since people don’t read anything past the headline, which is why we can’t have nice things, in an interview the CEO started the following:

    So, we’ve established an $80 price point and a $100 price point for the regular edition and the Premium Edition of GTA 6. And I think most people felt that if we wanted to exert it, we had a great deal of pricing power.

    This is basically the CEO trying to justify the new, and very much sounding temporary, price floor for games. Taking what Nintendo started and trying to provide more bullshit to solidify the new price.

    Probably going to be the new temporary price floor considering gamers are reportedly buying the 100 USD premium edition that has sliced content from the main game. Consumers give an inch, these assholes will take a mile and gamers are more than willing to take the abuse.
