ROFL I never buy AAA games unless they are on sale, as they often come out broken and in need of patches...Any AAA games studio that hope for this are on a no-buy list by default. This is their way of saying they don't want money for already mediocre offerings, they can have less sales as a result of being bitten by the greed goblin. I hope it hurts the bonuses of all those sleazy CEOs.

They can try, but it might not work. GTA VI has been in development for like more than a decade and will probably have loads of content. I could see $100 being justified. But not every other AAA game would be the same. Most wouldn’t in fact.
That said, video games have been $50-60 for the last 25 years. If they’d kept up with inflation, they’d be close to $110. So, I get it.
This seems fine given the scale of the game and assuming it's not bad, but it's more worrying how it will lead to $100 shovelware five years from now. We already had Zelda at $70 (also worth it) so i could see a trend forming.
Yeah. Super Mario Bros. 3 cost $50 on launch. This inflation in game price is horrible!
