BREAKING: Historian Draws Shocking Parallel Between GTA 6 Price and the 1929 Stock Market Crash

In a tweet that’s already gone viral, historian Dr. Lila K. Reeves has compared Take-Two Interactive’s rumored $100+ price tag for GTA 6 to the “Beer and Pretzel Bubble” of 1920s Germany.

“History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes,” Reeves posted. “When the Weimar Republic printed money for bread, it collapsed. When Rockstar prints a $100 game with in-game Shark Cards, you’re buying a digital loaf that costs more than your rent.”

Reeves notes that in the lead-up to the Great Depression, luxury goods became a status symbol even as wages stagnated—a pattern she sees mirrored in the gaming industry today.

“GTA 6 isn’t just a game. It’s a 2025 version of a tulip bulb,” she wrote. “Except tulips didn’t require a monthly subscription for multiplayer.”

The post has sparked debate, with some calling it “smart” and others accusing her of “reaching.” One reply reads: “You’re comparing Grand Theft Auto to hyperinflation because of a $10 price increase? Pathetic.”

But the historian isn’t backing down. “Just wait until they announce the GTA 6 battle pass. Then we’ll see who’s crying about reparations.”
