Today, during a Take-Two earnings call, the publisher\u2019s CEO, Strauss Zelnick<\/span>, responded to the $50 price tag attached to the upcoming PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch ports of beloved cowboy adventure Red Dead Redemption<\/em>. According to him, that\u2019s the right price. And he had no additional news for PC players hoping to play the classic game on their preferred platform.<\/p>\n

Thank You, PS Plus, For Making My Backlog Even Bigger<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On August 7, following endless rumors online, Rockstar announced<\/span> new PS4 and Switch conversions of the original Red Dead Redemption<\/em>. The PS4 version will also be playable on PS5 and, alongside the Switch port, will launch on August 17. Fans weren\u2019t happy though, as the ports appear to be just that, rather than a more ambitious remake or remaster<\/span>. Sure, it\u2019s nice that a beloved game like RDR <\/em>will now be available on more platforms, but the $50 price tag, along with news that these new versions wouldn\u2019t include multiplayer or any enhanced visual options, led to plenty of people online being (rightfully) disappointed. And now, the day after announcing the news, Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive held an earnings call in which its CEO seemed impassive to the fan disappointment and backlash.<\/p>\n

As reported by IGN<\/em><\/span>, after the earnings call, Zelnick was asked why the publisher had picked such a high price point for the relatively barebones ports, especially as the 2010 Xbox 360 version is cheaper and has been out for years via backward compatibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just what we believe is the commercially accurate price for it,\u201d Zelnick said.<\/p>\n
