My uncle works at rockstar and he said that gta6 is going to cost $150 a day to play but you can earn real money by murdering people and selling drugs irl
My aunt’s brother said mostly the same thing. You’ll also get a small discount on the game for every person you recruit to play/pay daily. If the person you recruited then recruits someone else, you’ll get a shared discount. I plan to preorder early so I can finally be my own boss.
How much washing up do you think you can do without washing up liquid?
free the pedos!
You can preorder now, send me $ and start selling drugs irl, you’ll get in game currency once the game is released.
If you hum The Final Countdown while it’s loading, it’ll let you play original Vice City instead!
Every time I wait for someone to stop at a light and I try to open their car door to pull them out of their car and steal their car, their door is locked.
There’s absolutely no evidence that this is going to be the case. All that happened is that the CEO made a dumb comment and CEOS are always making dumb comments doesn’t mean anything.
I assumed he was prepared for something higher than $50-60, like maybe $80. I really can’t imagine any company trying to justify $150 for a game. That price would drive more people out of the market.
I love GTA and Red Dead Redemption and I make 6 figures, and there is no way in hell I’m paying $150 for a game. But I would pay $80. I wouldn’t be happy about it, but I would still pay it.
AAA titles are already selling between 90 and 130 CAD depending on the version. 150 for the new GTA would not surprise me.
I am happy I’m a patient gamer so aside from very specific titles (Elden Ring) I rarely buy day 1.
The President (Rockstar doesn’t have a CEO) is also the founder of the company and made every single Grand Theft Auto up to now.
Who’s talking about the president of Rockstar? OP was referring to the CEO of Take Two, the person who made the pricing comment
It’s just inflation. The value of a dollar in 2036 is a lot less than now.
You know, I’ve read stories on how money was so worthless after Black Friday that workers transported their wage with a wheelbarrow. How come that nowadays, inflation just means that everything is fucking expensive, but you still get the same jack-shit paycheck?
I’m pretty convinced it’s not inflation that drives up prices, it’s greed.
In the past inflation was seen as a bad thing and destabilizing to an economy so governments put actual effort into making it go down. The easiest way to do that is to keep employee wages in line with inflation, but at some point someone, probably with an R next to their name, decided that that was evil socialism, and so shouldn’t be done.
So now inflation goes up and the government just sits there and goes “oh nothing we can do”.
In the past, governments didn’t have inflation targets. The black friday event involved the government flooding the gold market, dramatically reducing the value of gold. At the time the value of a dollar was directly tied to the value of gold. In hyper-inflation events (that don’t often happen in developed countries but do still happen in some countries around the world), inflation may be 50% or 100% or 200%. Sometimes way more.
These days (the last 30 or 40 years), inflation and gold have been decoupled, and instead the government has a target range of approx 1-3% inflation (depending on your exact government, but if you’re in a developed country then it is probably close). This was intended as a target that would allow businesses to have some certainty and was low so they could ignore inflation in their forecasts. The original target range was 0-2% set in New Zealand, but as it spread around the world it got slightly adjusted to a 1-3% range.
The governments now try to directly control inflation by changing the cost of borrowing money. You might have recently had inflation hit as much as 9%, but this is nothing like what happened in the old days.
We’re in a lot of trouble if inflation cuts the value of the dollar by more than half in 13 years.
!We’re in a lot of trouble!< Agreed
That’s about 10 great indie games. Probably gonna have more fun with those. Just saying.
But, I wouldn’t trust any rumor right now. We’ve had rumors for years
There’s absolutely no way they’re not putting an aggressive DRM on it.
Good luck.
Oh son you underestimated the pirate scene
Only 1 Denuvo cracker left. And their plate is full.
Or maybe someone could leak a dev build without drm…
Just means the crown is clear for usurping
Who would buy the game for that damn much anyway
No one would which is why it’s not happening. Even a collectors edition super deluxe version would not cost that much.
All that he’s saying is that by his super unrealistic view of the market the game should retail for about $150 but I suspect that even he knows that it will never sell at that price. Even if he doesn’t he isn’t the one that actually picked the price the marketing team will tell him that won’t work.
This is such a non-story. It’s like reporting every time that a Nintendo executive says something stupid about copyright, they’re always saying stupid stuff.
Avatar has a digital version selling for $130. If anyone can pull off $150 it’s Rockstar.
Whales gonna whale
I’m a patient gamer if something is too expensive I just end up trying something else until I remember that I was interested.
At that point it’s usually on sale.
Rumoured from out of people’s asses.
The CEO of Take Two said a comment about how he wished games were priced based on the hours of gameplay provided and not flat pricing.
Which then got clickbait headlines behind written as outrage bait hypothesizing that in such a world GTA 6 proving 150 hours of content would be priced at $150.
Which evolved to headlines baiting even more outrage suggesting the CEO was actually thinking of pricing the game at $150.
Then people falling for the outrage bait have been writing pieces or creating memes in opposition of $150 game pricing - which literally has zero indications of being a thing.
It’s total BS, and a good reflection of just how shoddy games ‘journalism’ is these days.
With inflation, $150 is about $40 in 2021 money.
So? If you’re implying it’s a fair price you severely fail to understand the overall cost of living has gone up substantially. On top of that it’s not like the workers even get close to a fair share of that $150 either. Wage discrepancy from worker-ceo has also gone up substantially. Who are you really defending?
Do you ever read flippant comments as they are intended, or do you just immediately flip into “Angry teenager with vague grasp of communism” mode?
People don’t really realise that tone of voice is hard to convey in text.
You have to pick your market with sarcasm on the internet, it either has to be super obvious or it has to be in a context in which people are expecting sarcasm.
Also there’s always going to be someone who actually thinks along the lines of a sarcastic comment, and it’s always difficult to tell whether or not they actually think that’s the case.
Sorry, we’re British. Everything is assumed to be sarcastic until proven otherwise. It’s far easier that way, skin like rhinos, us
It’ll probably be free to play without single player but in order to play it you need to keep buying shark cards. Basically what they’ve done with GTA V after release.
Ps just joking I really hope they won’t do that.
The leaks did have some singleplayer aspects but its pretty much guaranteed to have multiplayer with all the bs they got in gta 5. Its rockstar after all, they wouldnt pass on that.

Please stop giving them ideas
Do you really think sharks need training from fish?
I enjoy interpreting this as he’s signing up to do another one of those movies so he can afford the game
That and payoff his cocaine addiction
Can’t wait to be forced to buy cars in a game franchise that’s literally titled “stealing cars.”
Sing it with me now, “You are a pirate…”
GTA 6 Release date on PC - 2027
With the recent track record of AAA game studios and their milking of long-running series, it might not even be worth pirating.
Honestly, I stopped playing them properly after GTA3
.
Absolutely was going to mention that one. That was probably my favorite one too… Once they went 3D with GTA3, it was fun too… But really, GTA4 was a similar game ( i didn’t even play that one much). GTA5, literally got bored at the beginning
We need to repost this with Tim curry instead. Frankfurter > long John silver
Game costs $150? I know where Tim Curry is escaping to. The one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism
