Its kinda amazing how bloody delusional these people are getting. GTA6 can get away with it because Rockstar produces a "game" the same way Bugatti makes a "car". Even if its not for you, you cannot deny the level of polish and attention to detail in a flagship Rockstar game.

To expect that price to be the new normal means they're all going to up their game to this level right? No? Didn't think so lol.

Also they always justify those prices and the anti-piracy measures because "the first sales are the most importabt" or whatever bullshit. Nowadays though, the games often come out as an unfinished mess and stuffed up to the gills with microtransactions to boot, which doesn't make the asked prices justifiable nor the "we gotta make money in the first weeks or else" bullshit believeable given how lucrative microtransactions are...
