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.

Hour of original content would be fine with me. So all those GTA V should be free…

Then that would mean all those games that only had 40 hour campaigns that sold for $60 were $20 too expensive.

This is 80s company greed all over again that almost destroyed the video games industry.

We never learn.

That's what I do. I take some entertainment - not just video games - and rate it by how much fun it gave me over how many hours and at what price. 8 hours for €40 in an amusement park? Cheap thrill. A €70 AAA game that I throw in the corner after an hour? Not good. A €200 LEGO set that takes a lot of fun hours to build and inspires me to something else? Perfect entertainment!
