While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

your understanding is misplaced; their ongoing costs are MASSIVELY offset by their in-app purchases already. to claim they need more is just greed.

Game companies make profits unrivaled by any other industry and all we hear is "it's not economic to sell a game for 60 bucks." Now there are microtransactions and those profits skyrocketet. Now even that is still not enough. It's just Ridiculous.

When did I say I support microtransactions? It doesn't have to be both at once.
