While the game game is preparing for the dawn of “Grand Theft Auto 6” next year, there is an increasing debate on pricing strategies for premium titles.
Jennifer Maas, VarietySenior business writer for television and game, explains the last episode of the Podcast “Daily Variety” that $ 80 has become a flash point for industry. Nintendo increased the bar earlier this year with the release of his game “Mario Kart World”. Microsoft has tried to follow this advance, but ended up reducing the price of “The Exter World 2” to the $ 70 reference which has been the standard for high -end titles for about five years.
“There is a continuous conversation surrounding the price of the games, which people are ready to pay for games, which is a just price for games according to the time devoted to doing so,” explains Maas. In her recent interview with Take-Two PDG Interactive Strauss Zelnick, she has pressed it on the issue of prices for the release of the most awaited game for years, “Grand Theft Auto 6”, which will take place in May.
Take-Two keeps these details under the wraps for the moment. But if there was a title that would support a higher price, “GTA 6” is it. Anticipation is enormous and growing because it has been more than 10 years that “GTA 5” has been released for the first time.
“For something like” GTA 6 “, they could certainly charge $ 80, but they could charge more than that and people will always pay it because this game will be so big,” observes Maas.
Maas also weighs on a greater question: why is “Grand Theft Auto” so popular? On the one hand, it was one of the first games to unravel with occasional game players as an entertainment experience that should not be missed.
“There is a lot of generation Y nostalgia for many fans,” GTA “was” the first game where it was like, ok, it’s not a sports game. He is not a fighter. This is this other thing. This creates an immersive world. And what you could do in `GTA” was very different from the traditional “Zelda” or Mario “or the reading of a sports game. them.”
Also in the episode, Emily Longetta, VarietyThe editor -in -chief of senior television, gives the auditors an overview of the behind the scenes of the way in which VarietyThe annual problems of the Emmy Emmy Emmy edition are assembled.

“My best friend is an Excel doc and a Word document,” explains Longetta about the process of organizing the cover by show, by category of awards and discipline and gender.
Variety will publish a total of five additional autonomous editions devoted to the Emmy Awards this month: Actor (August 7), Actress (August 11), Comedy (August 14), drama (August 18) and reality / documentaries / game games (August 19). Before the announcement of the Emmy Emmy appointments on July 15, we published no less than eight autonomous Emmy Extra Editions.
Once the nominations have been released, the playing field shrinks and lobbying for the coverage during the voting period intensified. Only someone who loves television as much as longer would prosper on this difficult mission.
