So I can't really say if the $100 price is justified. I do think that
if GTA6 releases at that price, other publishers will try to use it as
an excuse to raise the prices on their games too. And I don't think
that will go all that well for the publishers. I think long-term it
will result in fewer sales, and work against the FOMO that encourages
people to buy new. They'll just be training people to, even more than
they already do, just wait until the game is on sale.

I see that line of thought being raised more and more often. Why buy a triple-A game on release when you can wait six months and get it cheaper for a version where a lot of the bugs have been fixed. Indeed why not wait a year and get it cheaper with the DLC?
