"Gamers will buy 5 early access, half-baked $140 games and sprinkle $300 worth of skins in a year," xQc stated on X (formerly Twitter). He emphasized Rockstar's track record of delivering polished, high-quality games and the extensive development time invested in GTA 6.

The community response has been mixed:

  • Critics point out xQc's wealthy status makes him disconnected from average gamers' financial concerns
  • Some worry this could set a precedent for other developers to raise prices
  • Questions remain about potential microtransactions in GTA 6's multiplayer mode

While gaming prices are increasing due to inflation, Rockstar's reputation for quality and polish may justify the higher price point. However, the actual pricing structure and microtransaction model for GTA 6 remain unconfirmed by Rockstar Games.
