There's absolutely no evidence that this is going to be the case. All that happened is that the CEO made a dumb comment and CEOS are always making dumb comments doesn't mean anything.

I assumed he was prepared for something higher than $50-60, like maybe $80. I really can't imagine any company trying to justify $150 for a game. That price would drive more people out of the market.

I love GTA and Red Dead Redemption and I make 6 figures, and there is no way in hell I'm paying $150 for a game. But I would pay $80. I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would still pay it.

AAA titles are already selling between 90 and 130 CAD depending on the version. 150 for the new GTA would not surprise me.

I am happy I'm a patient gamer so aside from very specific titles (Elden Ring) I rarely buy day 1.

The President (Rockstar doesn't have a CEO) is also the founder of the company and made every single Grand Theft Auto up to now.

Who's talking about the president of Rockstar? OP was referring to the CEO of Take Two, the person who made the pricing comment
