Why is Grand Theft Auto 5(PS 4) still $60 when it came out 2 years ago?

Update:

I refuse to pay the same amount for an old game that people paid for it when it was new, what do you guys think is it a rip off to pay the same for an old game that people paid for it new?

    Cause every other gam was nuetered by microsoft. Like how watch dogs was when it came out. Because microsoft owns the rights to most computer app 3d design programs/character models.

    They want stuff to be broke to force people into buying more out of compensation for feeling inconfident.

    Rockstar is Scottish and doesn't give an f about microsoft and invented their own.

    So all other games, just like that bad *** new silent hills game they forced to cancel. Have been dumbed down and destinied. But not gta v. They just didn't release all the content.

    But the biggest reason is that gta v is STILL releasing new content!!!! Still! New clothes, cars, masks, guns and more. For the next 3 years as far as I know.

    PS4 version came out in late 2014. It's more than 1 year old now, but not yet 2. the PS3 version came out in September 2013, but I would call the two versions different games all together, since PS4 does add features other than just a texture pack.

    Not all games decrease in value quickly.

    If you refuse to pay the price, then don't pay the price and don't buy the game. Why do we care? If you are as old as you sound, you're not old enough to play the game anyway based on the rating.

    Because it's still as popular as two years ago when it came up out people still play it once the sixth one comes out (I heard a rumor it was in the works) then the price will decrease its simple economics of supply and demand the demand is still high so the price stays up once demand goes down so will the price if you really want it you could probably go to Gamestop and either buy it used or trade in some old games you don't play for in-store credit

    Supply and demand. People really won't care how much it cost as long as they get the game. And because the PS4 is still a relatively and new console so it gives them an excuse to charge more

    you need to buy your game download keys from a discount CD key maker like MMOGA. Then they send you a CD key that you can copy and paste into the Steam app. You can find GTA V for $41 if you search.

    Because every dlc/update they release is free while most games are paid. They need to get their money, also it's a great well taken time game.

    It's still makes a lot of money also if u wanted to buy it just buy it preowned from eBay/Craigslist/game

    Because it's their latest game, and the put a lot of work in it and they still do.

    Anyways it is still worth it.
