PAY the video game corporations what their products are WORTH.>GTA 6 Should Be $80 And Other Companies Should Raise Prices, Too, Bank Of America Says>"We think it's in Take-Two's self-interest, as a publisher and partner to many developers, to raise the price point for the entire industry," >"The rising prices won't necessarily reduce spending. The market will bear it."https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-should-be-80-and-other-companies-should-raise-prices-too-bank-of-america-says/1100-6539759/
Why the FUCK is a bank saying this?Moreover do we not have DATA from the past years where they DID try to push this price increase and it that showed that gamers overall spent LESS which is why the industry begrudgingly pulled back
Can't wait for stablecoins passive yield to kill banks.
based i hecking love capitalism
Haven't paid more than $15 for a game in the past 20 years. I can wait for a sale, I'm not a zoomer so FOMO does NOTHING.
>>738235989>The market will bear itBut it won't, as it keeps proving"wow wouldn't it be good for us if we could make more money just by raising prices" is not evidence of anything to do with the market. I am playing 20 dollar games you fucking retards
yeah right Mr Bank, just liquidate their assetts already you lazy bums
Isn't the $70 price tag already just fucking over all the industry that isn't Rockstar, Nintendo and EA's sports games?
>>738236250The financial analysts are not humans so they don't understand actual human consumer behavior and think that their Excel sheets are real life.
>>738235989>The bank attended the recent iicon event in Las Vegas, where Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick discussed GTA 6's pricing at a high level, and said in its note that GTA 6 should be the game that kicks off a new trend of $80 games across the board.>by Eddie (((Makuch)))
>>738235989I hope they do it
>>738235989Because the bank is right, gamers will bear it. It's fuck of pathetic cuck bitches.
>>738236279anon...
>>738236797The premium game industry is already shitting itself with the $70 games, very few publishers can actually get away with raising prices above $60.
>>738236250NUMBER MUST GO UP!
>>738236250>Why the FUCK is a bank saying this?Who do you think runs America?
>>738236690>GTA6 is $80>people buy it becuase its fucking GTA6>Industry jews: YES! NOW WE CAN RAISE UP PRICES FOR ALL OUR GAMES!>AAA games come out at $80>people buy them less because they guess what? THEY ARENT FUCKING GTA6> More flops after flops>more studio closures and layoffs>industry jew investors: "How could this have happened!?
>>738236872Watch them try to psyop video games into being a luxury privilege so they can get away with higher prices.
>>738235989first of all the industry is already going to shit, people get fired left and right and games who were made with 12 digits fail, so if you increase the price of games things will get worse>>738236250most likely get new orders from the orange retard and his crew
>>738235989I have Jew fatigue
>>738236965jews in every institution, not just banks
>>738237040>undead in every town, not just the Great Lich King's Tower
>>738235989Nice try, kikes.
>>738236250Economists are like that. Financial would advise someone to save some money in case of emergency, while the economist will tell you to spend all of it, because spending good, saving bad.
>>738237014>>738236985I honestly would not be surprised if they already believe that the viable premium AAA game development that has infinite growth prospect in America is over, and are just going to do one last big money squeeze before shifting the US game industry to only be subscription services, mobileshit and Robolox.
>>738235989>Rothschilds lose multiple times against Gabe>Decide to try and ruin entire industry in revenge Common Jew tactic right there.
>>738236250>why would a bank that makes all of its money by investments want sectors to make more moneyGEE I WONDER WHY?Why is everybody so fucking stupid. Fuck man
>gen alpha only plays roblox and nothing else>the next generation that's supposed to replace zoomers is not even fucking growing up with actual video games>there are no alarms being sounded, no concern over the entire medium dying once zoomers get older and have less free time and there's nobody to replace them>the primary concern from big companies is that game prices are too low
>>738237224>>the next generation that's supposed to replace zoomers is not even fucking growing up with actual video games>>there are no alarms being sounded, no concern over the entire medium dying once zoomers get older and have less free time and there's nobody to replace themThere is some comments from SE and Nintendo about this. FF is mostly played by boomers for example.
>>738237224>zoomshits pretending they play real games and not exclusively consume gacha and youtube essaysRegardless of what happens, Gen Alpha will be an improvement over zoomies. At least they don't eat laundry detergent.
>>738237183It's an incredibly tone-deaf thing to say and damages their image. Granted, it's fucking BoA and nobody thinks well of them anyway.
>>738235989>"The rising prices won't necessarily reduce spending. The market will bear it."this is absolutely false, the previous price hike from a standard of 60 to 70 caused a reduction in purchasing by 23% which was only barely concealed by the extra profit margin due to the hike. i guarantee, GUARANTEE that another hike to 80 will cause an even stronger reduction which wont in any way be concealed this timet. economistby the way, no game is worth more than 40 dollars. NONE.
>>738237183Don't confuse naivete with stupidity. Investment is an institution that most of the world doesn't actually understand, let alone participates in.
>>738236250>Banks fuck up the economy in 2008>BAILOUTS GET YER BAILOUTS>Suddenly have liquid capital to invest again>Can't go all-in on housing market again for at least a decade, Crypto isn't a thing, NFTs aren't being ridiculed yet but also aren't a thing... people in the 90s were describing vidyagames as being just as good as AAA stocks and bonds, MUST BE GOOD! ROCKSTAR AND GTA FUCK YEAH!>Invest into AAA vidya>Immediately crashes and burns in 2011 and is now on life supportThey're the retarded bagholders holding a bag of shit.
>Snoy and Tim Sweeny mandate that games should be $70 now because....they just should be, okay?>AAA game sales fall off a cliff performing worse than ever frequently on deep discount sales within 1-3 months
I 100% support it, actually GTA should be 100 dollars or more. I want AAA to crash and burn more than it's already crashing and burning
>>738237509the best part is that the games are objectively fucking dogshit with atrocious writing, woke ideology propaganda, and some of the worst stability and performance ever seen in the industry at the same time as these price increasesjeets are a mistake
I only buy games if they're $30 or less.
>>73823598980 dollars huh? Nowhere near high enough, make it 90! No, 100! 120 dollars MINIMUM, maybe 200 for the deluxe editions where 20% of the content hasn't been cut out at release.Think about it? You could be making TRIPLE the profits!
Don't forget this is $80 to $100 for JUST the Single-player game. You will still need to buy GTA6 Online later for another $80 to $100.
>>738237321It's so funny to me how kids are rejecting all the attempts to cater to them. I see more young dudes enjoying retro shit, friendslop and casual games than anything else.
It should be illegal for anyone who isn't at least a billionaire to possess money.
>>738237687>young dudesWe're talking about kids, not late zoomers. How many kids under the age of 14 play anything other than roblox and maybe some other live service game?
>>738236985One can only dream.
>>738237767I have a nephew who grinds Trackmania but I guess that fits the live service bill.
>>738235989>Bank of Americayeah well im not shocked they would say something stupid My bank would never
>>738237865It's not stupid. It's destiny. The rich are destined to devour this world.
>>738236660>GTA 6 should be the game that kicks off a new trend of $80 games across the board.Did he miss Mario Kart World's $80 price?And I am so still mad that it sold as well as it did. Complete madness to me.GTA6 will probably go for $80 because they know people will still buy it. It probably will be worth $80 of content if its an actual good game though. But most games aren't even worth $30, so $60 is already pushing it. $80 is the stupid exception for when they know they can get away with it, sadly.
>>738237687I think one of issues is that games no longer release in semi regular basis, I mean up to gen 6 most IPs had sequels or something related in a year or two with a fair amount of big boy games in-between, now it takes a whole console gen to pop.
>>738237912jewish or just hoping they'll let you have a seat at the table?
>>738237368Retarded oldcuck, zoomers are the last generation that even grew up with traditional single player games. Gen Alpha find the idea of buying complete video game outdated, they exclusively spend money on MTX skinner boxes because they grew up with iPads. Most of the industry is fucked once zoomers age out of gaming.
>>738238040Neither, I simply accept that evil was always going to win. Evil has already won, in fact. All that's left are the formalities.
>>738237989Only physical release, bundled it cost 50 bux.
Speaking of rising costs, live music is currently really struggling in USA because the Jews running Ticketmaster think that since the masses pay fortunes to see Taylor Swift, they must be willing to pay similar fortunes to see less prolific artists too. Pussycat Dolls just cancelled their comeback tour in North America because American ticket sales were so much worse than the ticket sales in Europe where their reunion tour sold out with lower prices.
>>738238082Evil only wins if you let it. The funny thing about evilness is that its strength is also its weakness- it relies on everyone else being indifferent and/or accepting that evil happens. If you stand up against it, it gets extremely aggressive. This happens especially when a lot of people push back. That is why you see so much division happening between generations, races, genders, wealth, health, etc. It is all designed to keep us fighting instead of going 'wait a minute, why are we fighting each other?' and therefore would put a lot of energy into doing good and stopping evil. That is also why you see a lot of evil things happening because it only gets worse as the evil gets more scared. It knows it will lose. Evil has no reward at the end, so its trying to take its treasure with it to the grave while it still can claw it out. In the end, goodness always wins, just like our video games, movies, books, etc. depict. All it takes is a couple people going 'nah' to evil for it to get frightened.
Modern games aren't even worth $50. They can raise their prices as much as they want and it isn't going to make much of a difference to me.
>>738237989>It probably will be worth $80 of content if its an actual good game though.
>>738236250>Why the FUCK is a bank saying this?Lol, lmao
>>738237423Also you can see how quickly discounted the games were. They are going for very aggressive market segmentation to squeeze as much as possible as fast as possible. It's like $100 for "advanced access" to play on real day1, $70 on "release" week later and after 3 months it's already 25% off.
>>738235989>the market will bear itI wont even buy $60 games now after the price increases. If you release at $60 you game is never worth buying.you fucked around, now you drop prices lower than used to be if you want customers, plenty of developers are doing this and its clear that the only games worth playing have developers who knows this, if you fumble this basic thing so badly then I don't believe you wont fuck up your game.
>>738236250jews.
>>738237989>It probably will be worth $80kys
>>738235989
>>738235989>claim by Omar Dessouky>google name>first thing that shows up is the article>doesn't even have a social media profileso either this is a fake name or a literal who fucking cares saying shit to try to drum up attention.even fucking middle managers will have a linkedin that the first search is their name, cunts shit at his job
>>738238020Yeah, how are you supposed to have a new generation looking forwards to, say, new elder scrolls game when they are now in their late teens and not a single game came out in their lifetime.
>>738235989>The market will bear the price increase of a highly elastic good when overall purchasing power is going downlol
nice $80 game you have thereit would be a shame if someone were to... not buy it
>>738239256>Oh man, Elder Scrolls was a lot of fun, grew up playing morrowind, then oblivion, chilled out with skyrim when I was older...Good times...>Bro I'm 18, Skyrim was released before I was born and the next installment still isn't out
>>738239181You left off the>if its an actual good gameBecause there are good games I spent $60 and I got way more than $60 worth of good content from it. If a game is worth $80, then it has to be worth it, which GTA 6 may be. I don't like GTA so I won't buy it. But I know 1 or 2 games in the past that I could have spent $80 on and I'd think it was totally worth it. An $80 price tag for a game should be extremely unusual and rare, and only reserved for games that give you $80 worth of good content.
>>738235989>denuvo btfo>no exclusives worth buying a consoleremind me why i should be paying $80 to trillion dollar corporations for shitty movie games and live service slop made to extract even more money from my wallet?
>>738237070But who is The Jailer in this scenario?
>>738238825Sex with Sento
>>738235989Alright I guess. >pirates everything
>>738235989>GTA 6 Should Be $80you'd think these people having seen how much money gtao has printed over the past decade would know by now that gta6 will end up costing its players far, far, more than a paltry 80 dollars.
>>738238620Evil wins whether you want it or not. The world belongs to the biggest, strongest and meanest bullies. Whoever tortures the world to death first wins the game forever.
>>738237224>gen alpha only plays roblox and nothing elseNot only that, they openly mock every other generation for paying for vidya
>>738235989>The market will bear it.Oh I hope they believe that and pull the trigger when the numbers show people were already buying less at the $70rrp even before the recent recession started. Watching every single AAA title bomb and the entire western industry implode will give me so much joy kek. do it cowards.While I'm at it I hope they buy into their own retarded hype and actually try selling gta6 at 100 bucks. They'd lose so much money from the people not buying into the microtransaction landscape from that move kek, and all because they're stupider than the average drug dealer that understands you got to get people hooked before you hike the price.
Economics is a fake science we need to gather all the people together so we can beat the shit out of economists and finance people for constantly being wrong and fucking us over and take back the people's money.
>>738235989Nothing stopping them from selling GTA6 at 500 dollars. It's not illegal or anything.
>>738240775There have been some economists that arent retarded but those in charge dismiss them because their theories werent beneficial exclusively to the kikes.
>>738235989Game journos are desperately hoping this kills gaming as a hobby. I cant imagine why else they push so hard to keep increasing prices.I wont buy 6. 5 I had fun with but honestly in Canada aaa games are already 100 bucks so eat my ass.
>>738237989>It probably will be worth $80 of contentAn 80$ movie ticket is outrageous, and that's what it's going to be.
>>738238020The release gap from Skyrim to today is the same as the release gap between Skyrim and Daggerfall.
