That escalated quickly! #RockstarGames #RDR2

After all these years, Rockstar Games will release RDR on PC:

That's fake news: the certification process for consoles can't begin years before the release even for the biggest projects. It starts several months prior.

Instead, the most promising projects like GTA or Call of Duty have allocated QA teams within Sony and Microsoft, who ran extra tests to polish games.

Failing QA tests is expected and even desirable (to find, track, and fix issues).

GTA VI will cost $80 at launch for the basic edition and $100 for the ultimate one. The urge by bankers and investors to push the basic edition to $100 or more was ignored by Take-Two.

Bankers openly stated a few months ago that if Rockstar will push the price higher, the move will legitimise the same piece hike for all other AAA games. Strauss Zelnick and the board didn't believe in $100 and instead reminded that their games will get more in a long run.

The $80 was considered a bottom line by Bank of America but that doesn't justify anything for regular AAA games. Players on average buy discounted games more and more.
