This will be the new normal for a couple years. Then when no one in the US can afford a $30 game. They’ll set the prices back for $60.

$70 for a game is mad. Even if it was critically acclaimed and award winning who can afford that when most people struggle to live? Even $50 is a lot of money. Big game developers have lost the plot.

This for me too. It is too high a ticket price for a game I want to play but and not excited about. My hardware will possibly also struggle with this title, so that was too high of a barrier for me.

I mean I play the games either way.
So whether companies learn to make their games affordable for the vast majority of Americans who are cash strapped or not is irrelevant to me.
I’m just wondering how long it takes these companies to realize how many others like me there are out there and that they could be making a lot more money if they just made prices reasonable.
I actualy finally have a decent income and I still do what I do if the price isn’t fair, just out of spite.
