Not a chance. Considering how much money they make from GTA Online, theres zero excuse to arbitrarily increase the base price of the game.

 

[pudel]

Imagine yr last game sold 200mio copies and made you a fortune with mtx on top....and you still think you need to raise the price of yr game.

 

[Kings Field]

Nope. Even though I played them all since the beginning, they have gotten progressively worse to me. I'll buy it eventually.

 

[Sooner]

I'm not planning to buy it at $70, so, probably not.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

I look forward to not buying a Rockstar game for console on launch only to rebuy it for PC a year or two later.

 

[MMaRsu]

The game will not release for 100$.

But to enjoy your hypothetical, no.

 

[Radical_3d]

This is a very interesting topic. Not because of the game itself but about the sensibility of the hardcore market for the price of the games. There is something like that in RE too, and both show similar results. No winning comfortably and very low participation for the two biggest forums out there. So people aren’t even entertaining the idea of more expensive games (even when costs are increasing gen to gen by a multiplying factor). Gamers aren’t even considering this a serious possibility.

 

[salva]

$100 x let's say I play it for a total of 300hrs = ~$0.30 per hour.

Yeah fine with me peasants.

 

[freemandos]

I think 70 is already too much and I don't pay it for videogames. So 100...lol, no.

https://www.videogameschronicle.com...-gta-6-will-cost-as-much-as-100-says-analyst/

Something seems fishy. Why did this article appear to me when I read this post. For me, the answer is no.

And they even have the balls to suggest that all games should cost 100$ if GTA VI is priced like that.

 

[Starbuck2907]

I’ll pay what a game is worth.

If a game is worth $100 at launch, I’ll buy it.

Most games are only worth about $20 or less at launch.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Can't stand this type of game. Wouldn't buy it even for 30.

 

[Pagusas]

Yep, but I'm also of the opinion that games offer more value per dollar than any other media and they've been too cheap for too long.

 

[Ainem Enamas]

I think 100 is too much for a game

 

[ResilientBanana]

I want it. I don't need it.

 

[Shifty1897]

Considering GTA5 has been as cheap as $20 and I still haven't bought it, hell no lol.

And I want to be clear here: No game is worth $100 to me. Not a Chrono Trigger remake, not Xenoblade 4, nothing.

 

[Represent.]

Everyone saying no is a goddamn liar lol

 

[T4keD0wN]

Id gladly give Rockstar 100 just to kill their shitty launcher.

For GTA? No, but id pay 100+ for good games and i dont care that GTAV was a parody thats bad on purpose, bad on purpose is still bad.

 

[Brakum]

Not even at 60. Day one at 70$ sure but thats not gonna happen on PC so i'll wait till it's like 40

 

[Ar¢tos]

Pay 100$ to beta test a game?

Ah ah.. NO.

I'll buy it a year later when it's on sale for 20$, with all (most of) the performance issues and bugs patched.

 

[Caffeine]

nope would just skip it.

 

[Brakum]

Everyone saying no is a goddamn liar lol

I jave never bought a gta at full price so no im not lying. Gta is a game i like to check out because i do recognize that it is a masterpiece in many aspects. But the gameplay is ass and i never finish them so i have no interest in buying it day one.

 

[Kvally]

I would pay $200

 

[Arachnid]

Fuck no lol. I won't even accept recent years $70 increase.

 

[Mithos]

Everyone saying no is a goddamn liar lol

I'll repeat what I said in another GTA thread.

Still haven't owned a GTA game, I only think I've briefly played GTA2 on GBA? for a few minutes.

 

[Fbh]

I wouldn't even pay $100 for the next Fromsoft game, and I like those exponentially more than anything Rockstar does.

 

[AGRacing]

People are still playing GTAV after years and years and years. I can’t argue with the value proposition. It’s the games that’ll try it right after they do it that I’d laugh at.

That being said… they shouldn’t do it. The money they’re looking for will come.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

It is my most anticipated game for the last few years. With that said, I am going to say NO! I find it absolutely nuts that gamers are spending $100 on "Deluxe" Editions of games that often include a bunch of useless bullshit.

I have no doubt, if GTA 6 proved a success at $100 the rest of the industry would soon follow. It would set a standard I believe would ultimately break the gaming industry. Just my take but you may have another.

You know you will buy it.

 

[Roman Empire]

Only if it comes with a blowjob from a nice girl.

 

[Evolved1]

this is going to be a disaster... i just have this feeling. and it's still going to control like pure shit lol.

 

[acm2000]

not a chance in hell, i enjoy a GTA game but not enough to bother with it full price at launch so especially not at $100

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Dorago]

NES games were $49.99 new which is $120.00 today. These games had an actual circuit board, two ROM chips, a lockout, and often an "MMC" or co-processor. The going rate has to go up so that AAA's don't need to sell 10 million or have all the microtransactions to stay afloat.

 

[Lux77]

If its 100 I`ll pirate it, simple.

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

No.

It's too cheap, i want to support the industry, will only pay $200.

 

[bitbydeath]

No.
Most games aren’t worth what they’re currently asking.

 

[Kokoro2020]

Probably not. I rarely buy games at even $70. That said, I would buy GTA VI at $70, but no more than that.

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Everyone saying no is a goddamn liar lol

No

 

[Denton]

Some kind of Collector's Edition, if it was good and filled with stuff, I would be willing to buy for $250

Standard digital steam version? 60 or less.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Sure, why not. I'm a console guy and I keep the industry afloat by buying new games at full price, not a PC guy getting by on .99 cent humble bundle and my 15 dollar a month wow sub or a gamepass guy who just pays MS 99 cents a year until it runs out in 2046.

Everyone who said yes is probably a Playstation/Nintendo gamer and that's something to be proud of. Without us, the rest of you would have no penny games to buy in 10 years, and then you wouldn't be able to afford your 5090.

Wanna know the funniest part? I don't even like GTA. I just get fomo.

Thank you mister, we need more brave people like you that want to pay more, god bless.

 

[Gamer79]

You know you will buy it.

At a steep discount. I can wait.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Absolutely not.

 

[Stamps1646]

I waited 11 years to purchased GTA V @ $15
I'm sure I will pick it up down the road, but at a price and time I see that works for me.

 

[xenosys]

I doubt I'll even buy it day one regardless of the price.

 

[Bulletbrain]

Given the steep downward trajectory of the series for me (VC = SA >>> 4 > 5), it is a naw from me.

 

[PSYGN]

Honestly, yes if it’s any good. But I want to say no because I don’t want to normalize this price point. I think only Rockstar can price it that high and get away with it.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Nope, new games are already over 100 bucks in Canada. Fuck the price going to 100 US dollars. I’d wait for a sale.

 

[ssringo]

No. But I'm also not planning to buy it regardless of what they price it at when it launches.

 

[Kabelly]

I don't know why people want Rockstar or think they deserved to raise the price of their game to $100.

They will probably break even day 1 and not to mention the online mode that will keep them fed by sharks for another decade to come.

I know that extra $20 is not going to the developers that worked hard the past decade actually making the game.
