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.

Can't wait for them to try this, it flops, half the staff gets laid off, the CEO steps down with a golden parachute, the CEO trades places with the CEO of another tech company, that new CEO makes an even worse decision, another half of the staff gets laid off, the new CEO gets a raise, Microsoft buys both companies, Google makes a competing game studio that gets killed before their first game release, and Apple releases their first video game for $3000 that only runs on M2 and above.

One correction:

Apple releases "iTetris" for $3000. Their fans claim it's way better than the original. It's the same game with only 8 levels, but you can pay extra for more.

The blocks look fancy but do EXACTLY the same thing.

Doesn't seem fair that some people get paid so well for fucking up so badly.

We're living in a dystopia so boring that the future is easily predictable.
