GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com)

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.

Honestly, if I get a 30 minutes to an hour of quality play time per dollar, it's worth the cost to me.

That seems fair. People pay way more per hour for movies in the theater and other entertainment all the time.

I enjoy low priced games as much as the next person but I'm inclined to agree. At least a little.

In terms of currency per hour some games are outright bargains when you compare to a cinema trip and yet the triple A's cost more to produce than your average film.
