      Another commenter somewhere suggested it could be because the wife (lower price) doesn’t play as much, and the discount is to incentivize buying/playing.

      It’s still shady and black-box-algorithmic, but it’s a guess.

        Kinda feels like the opposite of how it should work, too. The people buying the most and supporting the video game industry get the worst deal. 😬

          It’s the new customer v old customer. The old one is already coming in and spending money. The new one needs to be enticed in. Same with like any subscription. New customers get a deal, existing don’t.

      A random tweet with no further proof or examples? I’m sure it’s totally 100% legit and not just ragebait because rockstar is popular(rightfully so) to hate on right now.
