Agreed. I will say the companion activities like golf or tennis were fun in GTA V, but the basic immersion stuff of like needing to eat, sleep, take care of my horse, etc, while silly or tedious to some, really kept me engaged in RDR2. They even had a basic hunger system in San Andreas. I’m hoping for something like that. And on the topic of horses, they really need the car insurance system from multiplayer to be integrated. It’s frustrating to customize a rare vehicle and have it disappear because you decided to start a mission.

RDR2 has my all time favorite game world.

I absolutely love interacting with it.

Between quests I avoid fast travel so I can hunt and explore.

How much washing up do you think you can do without washing up liquid?

AAA titles are already selling between 90 and 130 CAD depending on the version. 150 for the new GTA would not surprise me.

I am happy I'm a patient gamer so aside from very specific titles (Elden Ring) I rarely buy day 1.

In the past inflation was seen as a bad thing and destabilizing to an economy so governments put actual effort into making it go down. The easiest way to do that is to keep employee wages in line with inflation, but at some point someone, probably with an R next to their name, decided that that was evil socialism, and so shouldn't be done.

So now inflation goes up and the government just sits there and goes "oh nothing we can do".

In the past, governments didn't have inflation targets. The black friday event involved the government flooding the gold market, dramatically reducing the value of gold. At the time the value of a dollar was directly tied to the value of gold. In hyper-inflation events (that don't often happen in developed countries but do still happen in some countries around the world), inflation may be 50% or 100% or 200%. Sometimes way more.

These days (the last 30 or 40 years), inflation and gold have been decoupled, and instead the government has a target range of approx 1-3% inflation (depending on your exact government, but if you're in a developed country then it is probably close). This was intended as a target that would allow businesses to have some certainty and was low so they could ignore inflation in their forecasts. The original target range was 0-2% set in New Zealand, but as it spread around the world it got slightly adjusted to a 1-3% range.

The governments now try to directly control inflation by changing the cost of borrowing money. You might have recently had inflation hit as much as 9%, but this is nothing like what happened in the old days.

!We're in a lot of trouble!< Agreed

Only 1 Denuvo cracker left. And their plate is full.

No one would which is why it's not happening. Even a collectors edition super deluxe version would not cost that much.

All that he's saying is that by his super unrealistic view of the market the game should retail for about $150 but I suspect that even he knows that it will never sell at that price. Even if he doesn't he isn't the one that actually picked the price the marketing team will tell him that won't work.

This is such a non-story. It's like reporting every time that a Nintendo executive says something stupid about copyright, they're always saying stupid stuff.

Whales gonna whale
