After seeing GTA 6's price, I think it's time for me to break up with AAA gaming. Or, to be more specific, it's time to say goodbye to new games with legacy IP and cliff-face system requirements.
It's a heartbreaking thing to admit, because despite 2026 already being one of the most expensive years for gamers thanks to the likes of RAMageddon, I was ready to upgrade my PC and even considered buying a PS5 Pro just to get in on GTA 6 shenanigans. However, as soon as GTA 6 preorders revealed a $80 price tag for the base game and $100 for the Ultimate Edition, I saw a picture of a pricey future that my pockets and I can't ignore.
