Then why are not GTA games priced at $20-30?

Because they offer thousands of hours of play time? Like seriously, all the things you could say against this idea and you choose to go go with "But GTA, one of the games with the most lively open worlds, where you can do so much exploring and random stuff, doesnt have much play time"
