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.

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
