Gamers aren't buying GTA VI for $100 - survey shows

[Namtrooper]

Meh. GTAV was a major disappointment. No story DLC, all the new content locked int eh godawful MMO multiplayer full of cheaters and nuisances. No, I dont want to deal with 5 sweaty teenagers with floating rocket cycles to experience the additional story content.

I wont be buying GTA VI. I think its time for another playthrough of IV + gay tony.

They physics to me personally felt great in GTA 4. Best in the series anyway.

Whatever the survey says, if they put it on 100 again people will buy it as hot cakes. Nobody was going to buy the Pro, nobody for the Protal ... and then....

I think people need to look at their salaries have gone up and how much everything around them has gone up. $70 is less than an hours work for me these days. But when I bought GTAV my hourly rate was less than half of what it is now and I do the exact same job for the same company.

I don't think $100 is a lot at all in this day and age. Its less than a weekly grocery shop for 2. Less than an oil change etc

Isn't really something I have to worry about for a year or two. It will be a while before it hits the PC.

I'm not worried about the price. I am more worried about them making me upload ID (Digital ID, eventually) to play the game...

I'm more of a $30 guy.
I'll just wait till it's on discount.

I got Gta5 free via Epic game store lol.

I almost never pay full price for my games and a 100USD price will cause me to take pause. Plus after GTA III I lost interest in the series. But with that said, if you consider EA's record with their sport titles GTA VI will still sell even at an obvious gouging price. Could Rockstar make more with higher volume at a lower price? Maybe, or they could set a new precedent moving forward and normalize the new price point. And IMHO that's the real aim, get gamers used to a higher price point for all video games.

$70 is an easy +$10 for such a popular game.

More than that risks angering most people as "greedy".

I just started GTA V yesterday after buying it on a deep sale... but most people aren't as patient (behind on backlog) as me.

Sorry buddy but I don't think that not playing one of the biggest games of all time, that's been out of 12 years and on multiple console generations counts as "backlog". But enjoy it cause it's a great single player game that I've played through multiple times.

They can charge $100 for the game and I guarantee you that everyone who said "I won't pay more than 70, will definitely pay 100"

Because there is so much slop out there that only give you 4 or 5 hours before you're bored. People know they'll get their money's worth even at 100

The same people saying they will only pay $70 and won't pay $100. Are the same people that will go on a night out and spend $70 on drinks for a few hours of fun.

If GTA 6 offers even the same amount of content as GTA 5 then it's easily worth $100.

On the other side of the spectrum we have Vermintide 2 that keeps on coming out with free content every quarter with thousands of hours of gameplay for a fraction of the cost. I love my outlier. Crazy how I have more fun with games I paid a fraction of the cost in my library vs games I paid full price for.
