Allegedly, studios "hope" Rockstar will raise the price of its upcoming title to set a precedent.

My prediction is yes, they’ll ask 100$ and more, and yes, people will pay it.

Well the game could be disastrous and sell poorly after the first week.

To be honest, they could launch the game as a 1 MB file that brings you to a black screen that says get fucked, and they would still make their money’s worth just out of the people who will blindly buy the game because they’ve been waiting for GTA 6 for so long that they bought it release day.

And then they could just move back to GTA V pretending nothing happened because the same people that would have impulse purchased GTA 6 with zero research are also the people who play GTA V religiously spending money on the micro transactions there and that isn’t going to cut their addiction
