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

This seems fine given the scale of the game and assuming it’s not bad, but it’s more worrying how it will lead to $100 shovelware five years from now. We already had Zelda at $70 (also worth it) so i could see a trend forming.

Yeah. Super Mario Bros. 3 cost $50 on launch. This inflation in game price is horrible!

I know prices are static, all those 90s games cost me $60 too. Part of the reason why i can’t blame them that much

But are the devs going to take in the extra money or the ceo publishers?
