With the "Grand Theft Auto 6 (Grand Theft Auto 6)" coming next year, the gaming industry's pricing strategy for high-end masterpieces has once again sparked heated discussion.

Variety's senior business editor in the TV and gaming sector, Jennifer Maas, pointed out in the latest issue of the Daily Variety podcast that $80 has become the core focus of industry discussion.Earlier this year, Nintendo took the lead in testing this price threshold with Mario Kart World; Microsoft tried to follow up, but eventually pulled the price of The Outer Worlds 2 to $70 - a standard price for high-end games over the past five years.

“The discussions about game pricing, how much players are willing to pay, and what price is reasonable based on the development time spent,” Maas explained.In her recent interview with Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, she specifically asked if the highly anticipated GTA 6 would break the norm.The game is expected to be released in May 2025, more than a decade after its debut in its previous work, GTA 5.

Take-Two has not announced the specific selling price yet.However, if there is a game that can support a higher price tag, GTA 6 is undoubtedly the most powerful contender.The high expectations make almost any price seem natural.

"For works like GTA 6, of course, they can price $80 or more, and players will still pay because this work itself is destined to be a phenomenal existence."

She also further explores a deeper question: Why is the GTA series so popular

Streamer Zeam Acquires NewsOn Platform From Sinclair Broadcast Group

Amid the continuous wave of changes in the streaming industry, Zeam, a pioneering company that has been deeply involved in local broadcasting technology for many years, recently announced a major acquisition: acquired its local news streaming platform from Sinclair Broadcast Grouphref="https://variety.com/t/newson/" id="auto-tag_newson" data-tag="newson">NewsOn.This move not only marks a major expansion of Zeam's business territory, but also indicates that it is steadily moving towards its goal of becoming a national local content aggregation platform.

Since its establishment in 2009, Zeam has always been committed to providing stable and efficient streaming technical support to local TV stations.Initially, it was a bridge to help traditional broadcasters tentatively enter the digital age; now, it has become the core technology engine supporting live streaming of CBS-affiliated channels on CBS-owned channels across the United States and Paramount.The acquisition of NewsOn undoubtedly pushes this mission to a whole new level.

It is worth noting that just the day before Zeam announced the acquisition, Sinclair Broadcasting Group just revealed that it is conducting a strategic assessment of its huge TV asset base, including the possible sale of some core assets.This may also provide an opportunity for Zeam's acquisition.

In recent years, Zeam has gradually positioned itself as the "center of national local TV news" and has continuously expanded the boundaries of consumer-grade entertainment content, but it still insists on real-time, vivid and close to the community as its core
