  I’m not justifying it anymore than justifying the increase in price of cheese.

  But instead of spending your time being angry or annoyed at individual companies. Spend your time being angry with the system that requires the companies to have an ever increasing profit.

  And stop being surprised by it, accept that this is a symptom of the capitalism, and if you want change… well, then… it will not happen by itself, and it will not start in the gaming industry.

  And that’s completely fair as well, but there will be compromises… because 100DKK is not worth the same 100DKK as for 10 years ago, so as time goes by - the games you’ll be able to buy for 100DKK, will have reduced effort equally to the reduction in value of your currency

  I don’t think I’m shilling for everything… I’ve been sailing the seas for as long as I can remember… I just don’t understand why people keep getting surprised at games increasing in price - have you guys forgotten how capitalism works?

  Like do you go to your local grocery store and see that cheese has yet again shrunk in size, and increased in price, and then think “this’ll never happen to my precious videogames”?

  I mean. Of course vidya games’ gonna get hit with inflation from time to time… just like every other product… every link in the chain, from producer to consumer needs to have an ever growing increase in profit for capitalism to work

  I don’t know, you don’t know, no one knows… at least not for certain. Thants my point. If I wanted to try my luck with being an oracle, I’d play the lottery ;-)

  What I’m challenging is to just plainly saying “nope well never need anymore computational power in our device”…

  My point was that we cannot predict the future, saying something like;

  we are “there” with processing power

  Will be as incorrect as

  640Kb should be enough for anybody

  It’s just impossible to predict, not only how we will utilize our tools, or what the consumer wants in 10 years or so

  Besides, narrowing the scope of the device down to “just” gaming is a limited viewpoint.
