2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

MODERATORS
Rumors are that they want to charge $100 and they're sitting back to see the financial climate with the price increases to see if consumers will bend over and take it without any pushback
Or...switch 2 version taking longer than Expected..
OR. they're seeing the writing on the wall for the console industry and they're going to release VI for all platforms (PC included) next year
I will wait till it's $50
I'll wait till it's $10
I’ll watch other people play it on YouTube for free
Without their narration and reaction
I'll wait till it's free on epic
I'll sail the high seas
Guarantee it will have Denuvo and Rockstar DRM
PC version at $50
switch 2 version assumption here? weird
$100 minimum.
My guess would be they'll do some kind of tiered release strucructure, and/or have already finished or mostly finished 2 years+ worth of major updates, including new 'chapters' of the main single player story... and basically, you'll have to subscribe.
Like ... $160 for whole game, major expansion 1, 2 and 3, $120 for game + 1st expansion... Or your baseline $100, and then a subscription battlepass mmo monthly charge, or you can pay more for expansions in chunks, seperately.
Something like that.
Speaking out of my ass, I think the majority will take it without pushback.
I'm sure there's a swath of people with a console just play the yearly COD/FIFA, eagerly waiting for GTA 6 to drop. They'll buy it without blinking.
