The $50 / £40 price point for a straight port of 13-year-old Red Dead Redemption on PS4 and Nintendo Switch is "commercially accurate", according to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.
The CEO described this to IGN in an interview following a recent earnings call for the company. Saying it's "commercially accurate" would imply that the company could potentially point to some data that would indeed show that it was "commercially accurate" - this is not quite the case, unfortunately, as the full quote reads: "That's just what we believe is the commercially accurate price for it". Obviously, Take-Two and Rockstar can price their own games wherever they want, but I'm not sure they'll find many folks also believing that it's an accurate price point in today's industry - including among their own fanbase.
