Considering its 3 billion budget, GTA 6 may really struggle to do well financially, regardless of its quality - it will definitely make a profit in the long run - but that's the point - investors expect quick return - not to wait another 10 years on top of its 10-year development period:Apparently there are only 100 million consoles capable of running it - so, let's say 50% of that times 80 dollars is "only" 4 billion.Another sources of income - GTA 6 Online won't be available on release - will take another year or two, PC version is irrelevant - in this economy people can't afford a computer capable of running it, so sale numbers will be marginal (relatively - would be more than great for any other game).To get the return they expect (at least 10 billion) will take them a long time and may not be free - development and maintenance of Online and PC version may cost them another billion.Honestly, GTA 6 may kill the game industry even despite being (critically and in terms of sale numbers) a massive success - cost of development getting too high to justify contrasted with what customers are able (not just willing, but financially capable as the whole base) to give in return - games may have simply gotten too big for this world.
>>62651615>25% profit margin on 7 figures is badLmao
>>62651615It's the problem of investor overvaluing a company that can't scale and profit anymore.Sucks to suck.
>>62651620
It shouldnt have any high requirements if done right but it was developed in India so it will be a shitshow in any measure
>>62651615The broad game industry is gonna be fine. It'll be the AAA slop producers who suffer, and rightfully so. Maybe if they focused on bugfixing instead of trying to basically make movies with all the mocap and actor cameo shit they wouldn't generate astronomical costs.
why did they spent 10+ years working and 3 billion dollars investing when they could have just put that money into bitcoin and chilled
>>62651615Absolute nonsense underestimating the GTA paypigs, 90% got the premium version, console sales are up as all the people who only wanted GTA6 are coming out of the woodwork, any sort of DLC can be pushed out and they’ll pay and this is all before GTAO hits
I'm not very keen on playing a game where the protagonist is a criminal spic

>>62651650Kek - he really is autistic.
It will flop, and yes it will break sales records while flopping. I know many of you cannot wrap your mind around that, but you just wait and see.
>>62651620>1.25x after a decadewoooaw amazing profits but not quite as good as literal shit and piss that would give you a 3x in a decade
i live in a big ass city already, why would i want to play a game where i have to go into the worst neighborhoods and participate in antisocial behavior? if i'm gonna play an open world rpg i wanna go in the woods and fuck around with elves and goblins and shit, no go in the hood and buy drugs.
>>62651661every cod game has like 100,000 negative reviews on steam. people hate them but can't stop buying them.
Are you retarded? They make most of their money selling shark cards to stupid retards. The single player is just to draw more retards in
>>62651615How does this look any better than older video games? What, are they animating his individual arm hairs? Is that why production is taking so long?
>>62651889they have a massive studio with hundreds of employees making six figures and spent 8 years working on it full time. That shit adds up.
>>62651907It was developed like 80% in the rockstar India studio lmao
Who care? Game good is all that matter
>>62651625>Generally >>62651841Of they bought crypto then we wouldnt have GTA6I work for one of the largest orgs in the world at a relatively high position. Our margins are in the single digits. On double digit billions. That's normal. We would never make 25%. Ever.
>>62651620First of all a billion is 10 figures.Second, Yes.
>>62652481High-risk vs. low-risk.
>>62651954Then we will have problem.
>>62653429>he invests in game companies for a returnNatural selection
