Rumoured from out of people's asses.

The CEO of Take Two said a comment about how he wished games were priced based on the hours of gameplay provided and not flat pricing.

Which then got clickbait headlines being written as outrage bait hypothesizing that in such a world GTA 6 proving 150 hours of content would be priced at $150.

Which evolved to headlines baiting even more outrage suggesting the CEO was actually thinking of pricing the game at $150.

Then people falling for the outrage bait have been writing pieces or creating memes in opposition of $150 game pricing - which literally has zero indications of being a thing.

It's total BS, and a good reflection of just how shoddy games 'journalism' is these days.
