$80 is exactly why i skip a lot of new launches now. if the game is bad at launch, you are just paying more to beta test a broken build, and then they still sell you a battle pass after.

rune, that's the real issue for me too, but I think Rockstar is in a weird spot because GTA Online money is basically carrying the whole conversation. If any studio can raise the sticker price and still have people line up, it's them, not some random mid-tier publisher with no cachet.

Rockstar can do it, sure, but that doesn't mean the market should follow blindly. For smaller studios the price hike can help, yet if the game is bloated with MTX anyway then the extra $10 or $20 just becomes noise.
