I’m not as against this as everyone else. If you want a AAA game without microtransactions, in-game advertising, and all the other byllshit you get nowadays you’re gonna have to expect the company will want to make that money up in other places. Games have been like £50/$60 since I was a kid and we’ve been lucky that the prices haven’t risen with inflation.

Games were $60 in SNES days, I know I paid around that for Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger

As someone that argued this the other day, volume and production costs are waaaaaay different than then. This is a false equivalence.

Everyone also always forgets that they save money on distribution massively. And that the amount of games sold has increased significantly.
It’s not as simple as dollars had more value, games should cost more.

And subscriptions, MTX…game companies are making bank and would still make more than enough if games were $50.

There are a lot of AAA titles without all that bullshit and none of them costs that kind of money, on any platform.
