Kingdom Come: Deliverance studio co-founder hopes Grand Theft Auto 6 will 'blaze a trail' to higher game prices
Warhorse co-founder Martin Klima says games keep getting more expensive to make, and that money has to come from somewhere.
Warhorse Studios co-founder Martin Klima has expressed his desire for Grand Theft Auto 6 to set the tone for higher game prices, despite his lack of interest in the GTA series himself. Klima finds the popularity of GTA 6 perplexing and doesn't plan to play the upcoming game unless forced to. The gaming industry is grappling with the challenge of making increasingly complex and costly games while facing limited audience growth and saturated digital marketplaces.
Klima believes that the only viable solution is to raise the price of games, but acknowledges the reluctance of companies to do so. He hopes that GTA 6's success will demonstrate the feasibility of this approach and pave the way for higher-priced games in the future.
