GTA 6: CEO Raises Concerns Over Game Pricing

Rockstar Announces GTA 6 Trailer Release

GTA 6 is one of the world's most anticipated games, and fans have been eagerly waiting for its release for over a decade. Rockstar recently sent the internet into a frenzy when they announced that the first GTA 6 trailer will be released in early December. However, despite the excitement, very little is known about the game itself, as most details have been kept tightly under wraps.

CEO's Comments Spark Concern

The CEO of GTA publisher Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, has recently made comments that have raised concerns among fans regarding the potential cost of GTA 6. Zelnick believes that the current pricing model for games is flawed and suggests that a new approach should be adopted.

New Pricing Model

Currently, big-budget games like GTA 6 usually sell for around £70 ($70), with a premium edition costing around £100 ($100) and offering in-game items and early access. Smaller development team games, on the other hand, are typically priced lower, ranging from £15 - £30 ($20 - $40) each.

Zelnick argues that there shouldn't be a fixed price for all big games, but rather they should be individually priced. He proposes a cost-per-hour model, where the price of a game is determined by the amount of entertainment it provides. Additionally, the popularity of the game among customers would also factor into the pricing.

Essentially, Zelnick suggests that longer games should be more expensive, regardless of their quality. This means that shorter, more focused games like Resident Evil 4 should be cheaper compared to larger games like Gotham Knights, which often have filler content and side quests.

Implications for GTA 6

GTA games are known for their vast open worlds and extensive gameplay, indicating that Zelnick's pricing model would likely result in GTA 6 being more expensive than most games. This has left fans concerned about the potential cost of the highly anticipated sequel.
