Though there are certainly those who believe otherwise, a market-research firm has concluded that selling GTA 6 for $100 would not be wise.
According to IGN, market-research firm MIDiA Research conducted a new study on the pricing for Rockstar's upcoming crime sim.

Any more than that and revenue...

Battlefield 6 had a record-breaking launch, Electronic Arts has announced. The game sold more than 7 million copies to become the "biggest opening ever" for the Battlefield series.
This data lines up with what an analyst said earlier this week, estimating some 7 million copies sold for an almost Call of Duty-like debut.
"It's closer to Call of Duty-tier numbers than any of EA's premium-shooter efforts so far. But the question now is whether or not EA can foster this successful launch into...

Two prominent video game industry veterans have voiced their opinions on AI, with both people--Hideo Kojima and Glen Schofield--declaring that AI should not be feared but embraced.
Kojima, for his part, said AI is already used in a lot of creative work to "come up with ideas." But Kojima himself sees AI "as more of a friend." Kojima said he would use AI to "boost efficiency" but that he himself would continue to "lead the creative part" of game development.
"I'd like AI to handle the...
