take into account factors such as price anchoring, the number of games
being released, all those freebies and the number of copies sold.

Saying all of that, what a stupid thing to say. It wouldn't have been
much worse if he had just said, it's only $80 what are you moaning
about. I spent more than that on a burger yesterday. Border Lands 4 is
not GTA 6.

Neither is GTA 6. I think GTA 6 is gawn flop. Could, as always, be wrong.
