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

Honestly this could all be a campaign from Rockstar to get ahead of higher pricing. They throw out $100 to some random people and let them run with it, so when they announce a $80/$90 price tag everyone bregurdingly goes along with it.

I honestly believe it, these test the water kind of leaks, more like intentionally invisible marketing to see the reactions

That’s what I’m thinking. Get the fanbase used to seeing 100+, and then suddenly an 80$ game will feel like a bargain lol
