Depends on replay value. I really don’t like spending €60 on a game to start with, but if there is some replay value, build diversity, alternative storylines, endings or pvp component, etc I might be swayed

GTA 6 Publisher makes excuse to charge $200 for their games

After seeing AC: Mirage maybe they should. I had 5 times more play time in RDR2 than on Mirage. And I didn’t even played RDR2 Online. Oh and RDR2 cost me half as much.

$$5k+ almost nearing $$6k. And boii am I glad that Path of Exile is free to play. Although you could easily spend usd $2k on a few supporter packs at the minimum but its your choice whether you want to buy it or not!

or how about the quality of the “finished” product.

Ain’t no way they really said this. We are in the DLC era 😭

A lot but then again if that was their monetizing plan I’d have a fraction of the time spent on them if even that.

I’ll wait a few months and buy for cheap then

The correct answer is “Fuck that guy.”

I bet people would spend more money on cosmetics and shit in-game than the cost of the base game. Making comments like this though, a lot of people are more likely to never touch the game and/or other games released by them in the future.

$∞. Because they’re sandboxes/open world games.
But if I was actually calculating based on number of hours, that would be like few thousand dollars.

if this was the case, then UbiShit would’ve been the richest company on earth from their shit filler repetitive no creativity quests.

They do that and they can stick their game where the sun don’t shine.

Terraria is probably my most efficient purchase cost to playtime ratio. Bought it on sale for like 8 AUD, would have almost 2k combined hours probably. Games with high replayability would be insanely priced if they followed that comment.

Ironically, if games are priced at their “per-hour value,” giant open world games would be priced lowest. A 120-hour game might offer more value than an awesome 6-hour game, but the 6-hour game has a higher per-hour value.

The moment games are priced like theme park rides, im fucking out. Thats the day im buying a cabin off the grid and reading till I die
Cyberpunk 2077 is supposed to be fictional and horrible like 40k, not something you aim for like Star Trek
night5life
if there is going to be 200 hours of main story content in gta 6 i will be willing to pay 200 bucks for it. gamers said 1$ for 1 hour gameplay for years now but as soon as the devs say it everyone loses their mind.
ZealousidealPie3901
Gta has nothing to worry about. They could charge $120 for the base game of gta6 and everyone would buy it still because it would be worth the money to them.

That makes Tetris unaffordable

How bad would WoW players be sweating it with years of playtime?
Schraufabagel
I mean, it’s not entirely false. There are definitely plenty of $70 games right now that shouldn’t be more than $40 at most. Charging that much for MW3 is highway robbery

COD will now cost 1 million dollars!

I would be fine with more DLC in single player games. Forbidden west’s DLC for Horizon was actually a good continuation. I would be more interested in that style for GTA6 then just online mission packs
dib1999
If it’s based on the$1/hour I use to justify game purchases, more than my whole PC.
Borderlands 2 may as well be a subscription service. I probably put at least 50 hours a year into the game even a decade later
yeahdrowsy
Skyrim would at least be like $500, right?

Zelnick is an absolute moron.

I’d say RDR2 is worth $100 at least
iamsofuckingsfw
Big dumb. Quality of quantity. The original God of War was only a 10 hour playthrough, is he saying that should be cheaper than Forspoken?
Horsetoothbrush
So many people clutching their pearls over a game that might cost $200 but literally provides a decade’s worth of content, while many are happily paying $60 for a new WoW expansion every two years plus a $15/month subscription and spending a total of $2,100 for a ten year gaming experience. It’s just silly and ignorantly hypocritical to be crying over a bonafide triple A gaming company that’s probably bringing a banger of a game like we’ve never seen before and pricing it what they think it will be worth. Gamers will ultimately decide its fate and if it turns out to be worth it, but I’m betting it’s gonna be worth every penny.
doomedgaming
My most played game is Minecraft but I have no way of knowing how much time I’ve put into it, I do know it’s easily over 5000 hours, so that’s $5k if we’re doing $1 per hour.
On Steam, it’s Warframe at about 2700 hours, so $2,700
The games I put these amount of hours into are definitely worth the money I spend on them, but fuck this statement, we don’t need games going up even more.
pablo603
$2709 if we measure $1 per hour, but that game is F2P, so $1819 for my 2nd most played game which is not F2P.
RaspberryV
Around 4k now. Been playing FFXIV since 2014 and paid around +-1000£ for subscription over the years, still absolutely awesome value. No way I’m paying 4k tho.
