Yeah, it's overpriced. Luckily I have a laundry list of scumbag things done by both Rockstar and the publisher Take-Two so not buying this game is an easy decision

Personally I consider it overpriced in every single country. Video games should not cost this much.

I will not pay more than $30 for a game. That means I wait for AAA games, usually about 5 years. By then they'll be optimized, patched, and all the DLC will be included.

I plan on doing what I did for GTAV: wait ten years for it to be free on Epic or whatever, play it, then go “huh, yeah I guess that was alright” and never think about it again.

Rockstar arbitrarily banned Linux players from GTA Online for no reason so they get absolutely nothing from me ever again.

Take a look at the exchange rate of the Yen compared to the Euro over the last 10 years and it should be clear why the Japanese prize is "cheap". The Yen has lost a lot of its value, while Japanese wages haven't risen accordingly. So prizing the game at an equivalent prize to EU or US would mean that the game would simply be unaffordable to Japanese people.

Reminder to everyone that GTAVI costs $100, and you get some of it disabled in the $80 version

Assuming they flood it with MTX, spyware, and unnecessary online connectivity, I value it at approx. -$100 (USD, feel free to convert that to your currency of choice.)

Someone would have pay me $100 to install it, and even then I can't promise I'd play it much. So yes, I do think it's overpriced, by ~$200

Overpriced and overhyped, plus they mistreat their workforce. No money for these douches.

US has added sales tax

I have never paid a cent in sales tax on digital goods, and I do not live in a state without sales tax. Steam doesn't charge tax, niether does PSN. Price says $79.99, you pay exactly $79.99.

It's still overpriced and may actually be the worst GTA in history.

They might as well make it free to play. They made most of their money on "micro" transactions.

I ain't playing it either way.

Yes, in every country. But they'll make billions all the same.

Do I think it‘s objectively overpriced? No, it‘s the biggest game on the planet that will sell stupid amounts almost no matter what they do. I‘m actually surprised it‘s not 99.99

Do I think it‘s subjectively overpriced? Absolutely. I‘m not paying more than like 25ish bucks for a game. The games I paid more for (mostly launch games) I’ve come to regret the majority of. They mostly just sit in my library and become part of the already huge backlog.

We don't even know how it plays yet. We know almost nothing.

If it's a typical GTA game, yes over priced.

If it does something amazing maybe the price is justified. But I can't think of many games that would qualify.

It's worth what someone is willing to pay. I have paid north of $100 USD for new video games before. For what's different between those two versions of GTA6, I probably would have been just fine on the $80 version and felt it was worth the money, as the $20 more expensive version doesn't seem to offer much of value to me, but that's if it came out on PC in the same calendar year. By December, all of the cultural zeitgeist around the game will be discussed to death on end-of-year gaming podcasts, and by the time it comes to PC, it will be long past spoiler discussions and that cultural moment. So by then, I don't know what I'll be willing to pay, but it will be far less than $80.

It's not a game I'm interested in to begin with, so it doesn't really matter to me what the price is. But if some of my favorite IPs could get new releases, especially if they had the same kind of budget GTA will, there are games I'd hypothetically spend that much money on if I could.

People don't really scoff when sometime spends three figures on a virtual hat or a gacha pull.

I know it's not the sentiment here, but it's a price I'm willing to pay.
