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.

One Dollar One Hour? Did Take Two hire Spoole?

The same thought pattern gamers have had for years.

My logical brain: He’s not wrong. The rest of my brain: Yeah, good luck with that, asshole.

If it was a dollar an hour, then GTAV would be $1208...

But of course, TV AFKing took up a solid chunk of this time... because of forced waiting periods. Sooooo combine a pay-to-play per hour model and forced waiting periods then you've got MTX "Shark cards" with extra annoying steps.

I hate dollars per hour to determine how something is good value. I could sit and watch a 3-4 hour movie but if it's a genre I dislike then I'll probably not feel I got value out of it. Likewise if I buy a 70 quid game but it's 15-20 hours and it's got a great story, impressive visuals and solid mechanics then I'll have got my money's worth but if something is 70 quid and it's filled with things that feel like a checklist to do then I'll end up regretting the price that I paid.

They should pay me for testing their beta software

By your own admission you buy the games anyway. You could just not. Companies only listen when it hurts their bottom line.

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