Can’t use the word “buy” if you can’t actually buy the thing.

If digital, then games should cost about 5 or 10 bucks apiece. The high cost is mostly attributed to the plastic and the distribution (and the greed, of course).
The high cost was never related to the plastic or distribution. Probably the entire DVD, case and booklet came in under $3. It has always been simply the price the publisher thought they could sell it for with regard to consumer demand.
Development costs of GTA 6 are estimated to be a billion dollars at the low end. The cost of manufacturing and distribution compared to that are nothing.
Take Two are def greedy af though.
The cost is the r&d bro. CDs cost nothing to Make.
if capitalism, then price must be the highest to maximise growth.
Tell you what: Finish making the game, patch out all the bugs, add some DLC, and I’ll consider paying you $5 for the GOTY edition in a few years. Best I can do.
DLC is shit and ruins game balance in GOTY editions.
Welcome to the game! Here’s all this amazing loot you bought! Now your first quest is to kill that rat over there with your brand new Fire Sword. Oh yeah, here’s your Anglic Armour and your Awesome Horse Armour. You’ll have to lug that around in your inventory for a few hours until you find the horse quest though.
Shit article. Counting down to when you can start giving them money for a pre-order is news!?
But really, if we reward companies for games before they’re even released and reviewed, we deserve any and all garbage they decide to give us…
preorder what?.. what are you reserving anyways?
The ability to have it all downloaded and ready to go at launch, I guess. Wouldn’t be so bad if the price weren’t raised out of blatant greed while simultaneously removing the option to get a sellable license via a disc.
I assume the standard “I didn’t wait to see the reviews” cosmetic that all pre-orders seem to give people these days
speak with your wallets sisters and brothers, do not rent this bs
Millions will, and Rockstar will make billions, but don’t buy it at launch anyway. Get it on a sale or pirate it when it comes to PC instead.
Once again we all suffer because of the stupid majority. Imagine if everyone closed their wallets to the likes of google, meta, apple, rockstar.
Bought about 15 games for that much the other day in the GoG sale. Against the Storm is probably my favourite out of the 3 I have played so far and will probably keep me going for a while even though I want to play the others too.
I’ll just wait for the PC version and then sail the high seas.
I can’t even be bothered to pirate it
