This is greed, pure and simple. At $60, the industry was more profitable than Hollywood, and they raised the base price of games to $70 just a few years ago before immediately talking about raising prices again.

    Not solely. If you paid $60 for a game in 2010, that‘d be almost $88 today, simply due to inflation. It’s a wonder the prices haven’t skyrocketed any sooner.

    Not that I want that, I‘d prefer games being affordable but it was kinda inevitable considering the way the economy is going…

    Also, I‘d personally rather pay $90 once than have a cheap game with a shitload of micro transactions. Of course, developers/publishers that ask $90 for a game and still include a bunch of micro transactions can fuck right of.

    I don’t own a Nintendo console older than a Wii and I don’t plan on changing that.

    I also don’t plan on playing games that try to make me pay for it tenfold by enticing me to buy various in-game currencies.
