While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

    If that cost goes above $1/hr I’ll probably just not buy. That’s my base cost I’ll accept for paying for a game. If I’ve gotten $1/hr I find that I’ve gotten my moneys worth

      So I should have paid about $5000 to Tencent because I played League of Legends?

      Absolute dogshit. Nobody owns rights to the output of my attention span. Nobody gets to tap my wallet like it’s a tree.

        Who the fuck is saying otherwise?

        Just because someone has some criteria that they use to judge value for money doesn’t mean that you have to follow it…

        Way to completely miss the point.

        Nobody is saying that you should be paying minimum $1/hr, I’m saying that if I’m getting less playtime than equates to $1/hr I haven’t gotten my moneys worth and I don’t find that the game would be worth buying.

          Oh heck. How did I miss that this wasn’t another subscription thing like Unity? I’m hearing old adages during a weird time.
