In before, $99 and it sells like hotcakes. The success of Apple shows people will eat the price hike given enough hype.
You're comparing apples and oranges I mean video games.
The Switch 2 has been wildly successful. I think Rockstar is gonna be just fine.
Remember, the opinions you read online on places like Lemmy do not match the opinions of the general public. This doesn't just apply to games; on pretty much every topic Lemmy proves time, and time again, that people here don't have the first god damn clue how the average person thinks.
I just take what lemmy agrees is reality. Then I add an 80% more depressing adjustment to that, and I'm usually pretty close. Like hegseth getting fired means hell be replaced by the resurrected corpse of John Wayne gacey.
I think we can differentiate between fashion and video games.
I have no doubt GTA will sell well enough regardless of price and quality. But if it's a $100 and the quality isn't there, I doubt it will sell as well as they'd hope.
But we'll see.
I don't know, it feels like the US is at least heading towards a tipping point.
