Hot take, a very few games are actually worth the 100$ pricetag. The wrong studios believe their games are worth that much tho. I can see myself buying gta6 for 100 but id probably wait for a good sale lol

I decided to go all out with Monster Hunter Wilds and got the ultimate digital deluxe or whatever. Does it smart? Yes. But the amount of hours I’ve put into World and Rise would make you blush and yell at me to go touch grass. It’s one of the few things I absolutely will not play Patient Gamer with.

GTA VI is another such game. The amount of time I’ve put into V since it dirst came out to PS360, you don’t even want to know.

Unless you do. Then I’ll go look it up.

I’ll pay 100 dolars for gta vi blindly, but studios dont realize that trust is earned.

Well that's weird because they completely obliterated that trust with the whole GTA online thing.

What happened to all of the expansion content on the single player they promised?

Yea id vote with my money, can't see myself paying for something while second guessing myself -before- the deed is even done. My fucking dogshit mmo elder scrolls online has a premium subscription even tho its a PAYED GAME, and some aspects literally feel like extortion... Inventory space is insanely limited for a game that has thousands of items, HUNDREDS of different materials. Thought ab buying it a couple times but naahh ain't nobody extorting me into buying in game subscription bs lol.

People didn't want to pay for it.

I've definitely found games that I thought were worth $100, and they often refuse to even go as high as $70. Probably the only one that I thought was worth $100 and charged that much for it was Street Fighter 6.

Id much rather pay 100$ for an mmo and get all the nonsense battlepasses they do 'for life', feels better to 'own' it
