What’s wrong with Bank of America?

It will be full of Le Fuck The Man, Fuck The Big Corpos adolescent edgelording, but when it comes time to actually fuck the man by pricing it at $40-$50, they'll pussy out, despite knowing they'll still make billions and billions with the online

I won't be buying it anyway so price it whatever.

why do all these people think the game needs a high upfront cost, gta makes it money from mtx.

GTA won't retail at $80. GTA is retailing at $100 base game, $150 for the "premium" edition and $200 for the Shark Card Supreme Edition. There is no way GTA 6 isn't the biggest game of the year. We already know every kid will scream and yell until their parents buy it for them at any price. We already know every normie "gamer" will have it preordered. We already know the PS6 port will be the highest selling port, and Sony will make a custom PS6 Super Pro Gangster Edition alongside it. Rockstar will ruthlessly milk these retards for whatever they are worth.

I fully expect the Multiplayer to be totally hosed day one and Singleplayer lackluster or obviously edited/gutted/redone halfway through development. I expect a broken, barely functional game that kids will pour money into because everyone has GTA, and it will be the biggest game of the year regardless. GTA 7 won't be able to top it and this will be the final GTA for all intents and purposes.

you're crazy little lad

Analysts are trying to reconcile "the game needs a 100% attach rate across all platforms it's sold on or else it flops, guaranteed" with "let's make it even more expensive to make sure fewer people buy it"

movie tickets are still the same price as they were 20 years ago, even cheaper if counting inflation. Why should games be different if their budget is half of a modern movie?

>>738301573
Because I do not want to pay it and the customer willingness is the only thing that matters in luxury goods like entertainment. Also that is one of the reasons movie theaters are dying.

You fags paid $100 for a fucking controller to play PC games because Le Based Valve.

>>738301573
The funny thing is even 60 dollar games are far more expensive than vidya from 20 years ago because every game is loaded with DLC trash on top of it so you end up spending 100-120 dollars in the end anyway.

Well they're really hoping that people will keep buying despite the price hikes, which doesn't work outside of big franchises like Mario Kart or GTA. And even with the latter, I genuinely wonder if the game will make its budget back considering how fucking large it must be by now. It's been delayed a bunch and is probably gonna get another delay until next year.

Our biggest themepark is high in profits and pretty low on entrance costs and so they are not rising prices.
But other smaller theme parks need to up their ticket prices to keep them open and they cant because the biggest one doesnt raise their prices.

If the "biggest" game still asks 70,- bucks for the game, which they can take because they are going to sell a trillion copies, other devs cant rise their prices to keep afloat because "y this 80 when gta6 is 70"

That guy is insane. For 10 euros on GOG i can currently get.

Gamers deserve to pay more. Unless they stop demanding more which they won't. If games must get bigger, shinier, and better then you can pay more. Otherwise deal with the shit products you have. Do you want the good cereal or the great value brand? Games could cost 200 a pop and gamers will still buy them because they're not principled people. Video games are not an area one takes a dogmatic stance. If it were then Nintendo would be the only game company and that would fucking suck.

Mario Tennis Fever tanked so hard at $70 that Nintendo immediately began price cutting their B titles like Yoshi or Splatoon Raiders. People might buy GTA at $80 but certainly not most games.

>>738300319
Wouldn't that be counter-intuitive considering modern GTA makes nigtillion dollarydoos from micro-transactions and not the box price? Meaning that they don't necessarily want to raise the barrier of entry, so they can onboard as many future whales as possible.

You're making this with the idea that people already dislike GTA and are looking at it with fair judgement.
Unfortunately, as it stands, people still like it, so even if GTA 6 is an unforgivable turd, this one will be successful simply because it has "GTA" written on it.
The real outcome is that its success will push AAA devs into thinking they can fleece their playerbase even harder, which will be their downfall.

How?

Reminder, Rockstar is a British company, the money they make off the game goes to Britian. Itll help the British economy but thats it, its one of those things like Warhammer where its suprisingly big and its a thing you can point to as one of the biggest incomes, if they increase the prices of those too it would only help that British company and the pound, not America and American banks using Dollars. Is this more "Trump economics" where someone forgot that they dont actually make shit and just think everything is made by America?

You may have fallen into the nightmare timeline. Sorry to hear, but welcome.

>>738313876
yeah it's definitely going to be 70 for standard edition

They usually do something super enticing for the high end version though like with V on the PS3 you had to pay 150 bucks to gain access to niko, claude, martson, and misty as online creation parents.

This was important because misty was the only way not to have a deformed character, even today both on GTAO and FiveM mistys face is the most used for CC by millions of players.

That's the exact opposite of what the rating system is. AA is inherently higher risk than AAA which is why they throw more money at AAA.

The problem with "AAA" companies is that they've lost sight of what the market actually wants and have trusted the reports of ideologically compromised consultants.

You are correct that they do need to split up their funding into much smaller scale projects though.

Rockstar paid for it with GTA 5 money they don't need a loanshark. RDR2 sold 80 million copies and GTA is much bigger than RDR, they'll be fine.

It's not that the costs are higher, lmao, the wages didn't increase. It's that the returns on INVESTMENT need to be higher, investors are taking more and more of the pie WHILE investing more and more money, not 100M like in 2012, now it's 500M AND it has to have the homosexual propaganda that men hate AND most video gamers are men. It's just untenable. You go "yeah I'd do a better job", I bet you could not. Smaller project? Like that Metroidvania KANGS of Persia game that Ubisoft made that didn't turn any heads? Big western names became toxic brands, do trust Microsoft? No. Do you trust Amazon Games Studio? No. Do you trust Blizzard? No. Do you trust Rockstar? No. Do you trust EA? No. If a AAA game has that stamp on its game it repels gamers, inherently lowering its quality from AAA to B or even C. Imagine, AAA graded beef, but sold by Microsoft, it's instantly perceived as trash quality but investors still think it's AAA just like the scam that happened in the 2008 economy crash where banks were selling high risk assets while marking them as low risk because they wanted black people to own houses but lending money to black people is high risk.

Googling says the budget is estimated at 1-1.5 billion USD, but I doubt that.
despite being a big game with likely a big budget, GTA6 is the Half-Life 3 of the younger generations, but this is actually coming out. even if nobody bought shark cards, and the game was just a video of the devs running a train on the player's mother, then they could probably make a good chunk if not most of their money back by initial sales alone. some people are just that hyped for it. The price would have to be something insane like $120+, or such a massive spike that some people physically can't afford it that it forces a dissonance between a customer and the product.

isn't 5 online free anyway?

the point is, I don't think many shark card trannies will migrate just like that or they will drop GTA entirely

one way or another it will be an interesting release

Bank of America is unironically one of the worst banks you can be unfortunate enough to have. Their customer service is non existence, they have fees out the ass for literally every minuscule transaction/process that doesn't meet their retarded agreements. Opening even the cheapest non student account means you'll still be PAYING them a monthly fee for the privilege of holding your (minimum $500) account open. And this is just the "laymans use", I would need to write a series of books on the amount of woe these scumbags have caused financial system itself. Basically if you're one of the people who actually make money having a BoA anything you're "one of them" and everyone wants you hanging from a lamp post.

>letting corporations ragebait you
They won. They literally created an advertisement and you accepted it and market for them for free.

>>738323728
He’s right though it’s called the laffer point, there is a perfect price that nets the most, at which point increasing the price loses money because you lose more customers than you gain marginal profit and vice versa if you lower the price you don’t gain enough customers to make up for the loss in marginal profit.

Or if you applied the logic to taxes, the more you tax the less tax money you actually get long run.

The economy is collapsing, ever since obama we have been shitting out debt and all the chickens are going to come home to roost. Stock market value approaching triple its actual production (people sounded the alarms at double just a few years ago) which means that GDP is expected to triple by investors. Everyone has a fake make work job generated out of a nonsense easy credit economy that can only go as long as the offshoring of US inflation through dollar hegemony can last. Mass lay offs are the way of the 21st century and only going to get worse as zombie corporations shamble through the highs and lows of pushing it just a little further. So yeah daddy’s paycheck is going to get increasingly unstable until whatever happens with the Eurodollar to set off total meltdown when the backs of the third world are broken.

>>738318234
automation only has this problem when you've destroyed and undermined your people to an extent where we are no longer innovative or forward thinking because we can barely survive in the first place. it could have just created a paradigm shift like the industrial revolution and create a new age of prosperity and higher standard of living but instead AI is just making itself redundant by making all us slaves too poor to afford anything it will provide. the only reason we have these stupid chatbots is because they're forcing us to pay for it through our electricity bill, and its not sustainable. there cant be an AI revolution that changes life for the masses at this rate, because as it takes our jobs we have less money to create any demand for more AI automation. at best they are forcing us to pay out of our pockets to develop it so they can form their own breakaway society where they dont need us for anything

>>738318234
Ez, they will simply print and devalue money harder and give out just enough dole so the unwashed ones can keep buying the console-pleb version of everything in life and yet can still be controlled by shame for not being the valuable 0.01%

Even if GTA6 was $80/90/100/whatever, it is literally the only game that could do it. Any other publisher that tries to follow through with it as well will have a DoA game, barring maybe a new Mario Kart.

The great depression was a nothing burger, and I don’t mean that in comparison to what’s coming either, it was a literal nothing burger of a downturn and a period of prolonged pain from 30s era leftist insanity. The great depression was government thugs going into businesses at night at wrecking the place to make sure nobody was working at night and just unending nonsense that brought investment to a halt until FDR died. It’s a misunderstood time of history because we live in a left wing dark age that doesn’t let you see the skeletons in its closet.

What’s coming is a full scale world wide debt collapse because of runaway inflation and USD value. The US exports its inflation because all currency is reverse pyramided on USD. Since inflation is just a tax by another means essentially the whole worlds workers, every tax payer under every government, is paying taxes to the US and has since world war 2. But inflation is a tax they can’t control, and eventually they are going to break the backs of the third world workers who support this whole gig. When that happens, foreign holders of dollar debt (most US dollars are debt between foreigners and other foreigners) will default. Defaulting on their debts will take dollars out of the supply, which increases the value of dollar, which lowers the threshold of foreign debt holders who must default, and so you get a reciprocal upward spiral of dollar value forcing everyone to default on their debts and the whole system is going to come crashing down.

They're telling you you're wrong but I also believe they could easily get away with a $100 base game cost. It's GTA 6, people aren't gonna just not buy it. Why would the second best selling series of all time, the game that every normalfaggot buys, suddenly not sell? Everybody will want it, adults, kids, even the parents themselves will be wanting it. It's not about what's super expensive and what's not, GTA has the brand name so it will be comically successful on release.

For the average casual player, not owning GTA 6 is like not owning a PS5. The normalfaggot would never desire to have others know they don't own a PS5. Same goes for GTA 6. People will buy it because it's new and trending.

>people aren't gonna just not buy it

Bankers are the last people you should take advice from in regards to selling products.

It’s a minority but the agenda is justified by appealing to a wider audience. See the problematic thinking is that things should appeal to a majority in the first place. A majority doesn’t even really exist, everyone is countless minorities, with their unique minority needs ranked ordinally and ever changing.

Everything is supposed to appeal to minority audiences, that we all are a part of in different amounts at different times. In practice this is apparent in that different games exist for everything. What the left is doing by wokeifying games isn’t inclusivity but exclusivity under the guise of grouping as many people as possible under the same net, a net they have designed by force represented by the pride flag. You can play games but only under their flag, and so long as everything remains inoffensive to the majority they claim to represent but really just corral under forced definitions, domestic terrorism, and bureaucratic control.

A majority that doesn’t exist is manipulated by a minority so that other minorities of thought and opinion cannot exist.

GTA 6 is easily the most anticipated new game in a long time.

>>738342439
How do you measure anticipation? Because I don't think it is.
I can only infer and speculate.
Who is playing GTA5 today? Who is rockstar's core audience? Are they just planning on pouring billions of dollars into marketing and take the cawadooty route and trick rubes into buying it? I don't think that works as well as it used to, gaming is so mainstream and there's such a glut of supply that even normies have a niche of genre(s) that they're interested in.

>>738342882
You hear it being talked about even outside of purely videogame circles. Norman Rando is aware of it and wants to play it.

>>738343013
Well, the media circus is talking about it; they're in on marketing bux.
But I don't see normal people talking about it and the media circus doesn't control the masses' tastes like they used to. The degenerates play gachas and anyone with a modestly developed frontal lobe has picked something they like so GTA no longer occupies the niche of "the videogame that Joe Blow saw on the side of a bus".

>>738343849
