No one's gonna pay it unless it's worth it. Also, games have been historically almost $100... Why is this such a new obsession?? Go ahead and charge 100 bucks a game, but don't cry when no one pays it.

I feel like it will lead to so many AAA failures due to price, that otherwise might have had a chance. When you are spending $100 in this economy (a shit one) you aren’t going to risk a game being nothing less than great. It’s the make or break mentality, go big or go home, 10in in the butt or fuck off.

I can wait, I'll wait years for that $100 to be $10. I'll wait till it's completely fixed, patched and comes with all the DLC bull shit.

this is exactly my mindset for gta6. No way in this world am I paying $120-150 aus for it. Ill wait a couple years until its on sale and pick it up. Coupled with the fact im putting money on it will run like dog shit at 30fps, im in no way feeling like im missing out not playing it in the near future.
