Take-Two Interactive, which wholly owns Grand Theft Auto studio Rockstar Games, says that the games business is still growing, but that it's also becoming more expensive and risky.

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."
If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.
Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.
Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.
My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.
So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!
He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿
I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.

The head of AI at Take-Two says his time with the company has reportedly 'come to an end.'

Take-Two has hired Perfect Dark studio head Darrell Gallagher and creative director Brian Horton to start a new studio under 2K.
They sold more than 55 million copies of GTA 5 and yet they are complaining development is getting expensive? Wow just wow
Did he say NBA 2K bigger than Madden? Whoa.
Making AAA games is expensive and a big risk. It's therefor it's so refreshing to see Indie games that is relative cheep to produce and that is pushing gameplay more then these big AAA games.
It's only more expensive due to the marketing budget or lack there of.
Publishers spend much more on marketing than they do on the actual game development.
To me that is their problem if they want to spend $100mil+ on marketing but the customers shouldn't have to pay for their extravagances.
Increasing the price of games + DLC due to this expense is BS by the publishers.
No excuses can be made by the publishers that game development expenses has increased therefore it's riskier to make games now than it was. If they want to wine and dine gaming press, pay for TV adverts, billboards and pay off game reviewers for good reviews that's on them not the gamers.
You have to spend money to make money.
