The year is 2037 and GTAVII has just released at a price tag of $1,000,000USD MSRP. You have wealth like Bill Gates or Elon Musk. Do you bite? And if so, would you share in the wealth via dumping the game files online? (Perhaps the latter question is of more interest.)

Nope and nope. If Rockstar or any other game dev wanted to charge that kind of money, they don't deserve a penny.

I wouldn't buy GTA7 even if it was $1.

Honestly, if I was a billionaire, beyond solving world hunger and other more tangible problems, I'd fund the creation of a bunch of cool games that might not get made otherwise in the current landscape.

Nah. If I were a billionaire, I would spend my money on retro and build complete collections.

At that price you're paying to make a game, not play one, and I'd expect a return on my money or a percentage of the studio.

Dude, no

But as a billionaire, id finance Chrono Trigger 2, Suikoden 6 and a new Ogre Battle

Also Resistance 4, Uncharted 5, lets revive Clayfighter and Dead Space while we are at it

Also, Mischief Makers 2

No. Hell no. Fuck no. Hell fucking no. Also you can't get me to play GTA if it was free. No I'd fund VanQuish 2. MGR2. ZOE3. Mega Man Legends 3. Localize EX Troopers and finally fund my dream game. Plus more in the gaming industry I'd like to see more of. Then again I would not stay a billionaire very long as I'd help my friends and family. Give a million bucks to every person in the US under the poverty line.
