It's greed.
I wish I could give you a more extensive explaination.
Digital games could also be lended or sold to friends & other people.
It'd be absolutely in the realm of being technically possible.
But they don't do it. Because every digital game has to be bought individually through their one and only (!) digital store. And you can't even lend it to other people unless you give away your account...
My guess:
September 29th, 2026.
I really can't see how they would actually want, like truly want (!) to release their biggest game ever at end of May.
Which is about 14 days before the FIFA World Championship is about to kick off - right in the Summer time for many countries GTA is popular in.
GTA(6) is huge, massively huge.
But one of the few things that are still quite bigger than GTA is the F...
The sad thing about those price hikes is that none of that money is neither intended or used to pay workers better.
I'd pay 700 bucks for a console if I knew that noone in the production line is being exploited anymore.
But those tariffs ...
Trump is a guy who is used to rip people off.
But he and people like him, ironically, hate it getting ripped off themselves.
These tariffs are purely drive...
"Funny" how close Death gets when talking in GTA releases instead of full years to go.
Makes sense.
By 2018, it was probably the time when Xbox and Playstation could tell publishers and studios their final next-gen specs.
"Xbox is making better first party games“
If not as much in online communities & news invested gamers like us are seeking through the shelves for a game:
Tell me the names of the so called "Xbox 1st party games" he/she instantly connects with "Oh yeah, that's Xbox" the same as they would know Astro Bot or Ghost of Tsushima, God of War or The Last of Us stands for Playstation 1st party games.
Please don&#...
It's now on Xbox', 2hrs later though, but yeah. Who knows.
Maybe Windows was updating.
Interesting:
Playstation's official YouTube channel has got the second trailer listed.
Xbox' hasn't.
The fidelity of the graphics engine looks amazing.

"They're giving gamers the option to play where they want."
You're probably way too intelligent to even suggest this is a good argument.
"MS is the most pro consumer company this gen.“
How's that?
"they’ll let you suck their dick too"
So you're saying you already did that?
Great.
Well, I'll think about it, 'right?
Looking at what console manufacturers are actively trying to do/are already doing:
• exclusive digital stores (no competition)
• digital games tied to one (!) account
• no re-selling/lending of digital games
• intransparent pricing policies
• restrictive refund policies
= pimping up revenue, because everyone MUST get their own copy.
That's what's called creating a blowout at some point in ti...
Anyone who's been following the console business for so many years, it indeed IS crazy today witnessing true & original Xbox/MS 1st party IPs coming to Playstation.
Forza, Gears now already there.
Halo & Flight Sim will highly likely be following soon, too.
Seems like Gears E-Day won't be an exclusive anymore.
Ain't it funny how the focus on profit always, literally always leads to less creativity, burned & bored out staff/players and ironically even lesser profit in almost every business in the long run?
How you know?
How you know I didn't?
Microsoft is making hundreds of billions of profit every year. Profit.
I don't understand why they do not carry these "risen costs" by those, but instead reaching them over to their hardware, which isn't really selling 20m units anymore, anyway.
True words, buddy.
Q: "So how many units did Shadows sell?"
Ubisoft: "Well, look, we ... it's been a busy week."
