Probably because he expected for that sort of money for the only reaction to be people jizzing themselves

I dunno if you follow car stuff much. Chip shortage during COVID affected how many cars could be made. Manufacturers saved them for high margin high value cars. Already there is a smaller market for them. Plus, charging infrastructure in some countries is behind to the point where a lot of people are sticking to petrol. That’s the wider picture.

On top of that VW made a really good EV platform and then screwed it up with a cheap interior, glitchy software, and frustrating laggy haptic buttons everywhere on cars that weren’t exactly cheap. Why bother with that when you can get a Kia Niro (as an example) with more features, a massive warranty, more range, better interior for the same or less money?

Too bad many of the people in my generation who grew up with GTA games stopped caring since we’re all middle aged now anyway.

Also the impact of a new rockstar game today is very different from what it was in the 2000s. There’s so much to play now that waiting a year isn’t that big a deal when you have a giant library of Steam games.
