Topic | The HARD truth of video game prices : The Industry has NO pricing power |
WingsOfGood 11/14/23 10:49:54 PM #29 | something IMPORTANT to point out also when you buy say Elden Ring directly from Namco digitally, they make the full $60 off you so in this way games HAVE GONE UP just from a distro perspective not customer facing as in if you bought it at walmart they would have made like idk $25 this is highly important to consider |

You're making the assumption that those record profits are coming from traditional video games and not because of GAAS and mobile games. Live services make up 73% of EA's revenue. https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2023/5/11/elden-ring-game-sells-over-20-million-copies Bandai Namco's financial results finished out strongly for fiscal year 2022 thanks to Elden Ring's popularity, reaching $7.3 billion in sales for the previous fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. This compares quite favorably to fiscal year 2022, which reached a total of $6.6 billion in sales revenue, representing an 11 percent increase in revenue year-over-year. Elden Ring, one of the most expansive games of the current gen, is thought to have made about 1 BILLION in profit maybe don't make bad games? |

WingsOfGood 11/14/23 10:43:07 PM #26 | Why the gaming industry is so profitable? That means the gaming industry is making more than three times as much money as the music industry and almost four times as much as the movie industry. One of the main reasons for the gaming industry's success is the increasing popularity of mobile gaming. Let me REPEAT that for you the gaming industry is making more than three times as much money as the music industry and almost four times as much as the movie industry. Imagine buying into the idea that game prices stagnated and poor publishers aren't getting a fair cut HOLY MOLY https://www.vintageisthenewold.com/game-pedia/how-profitable-is-the-video-game-industry

WingsOfGood 11/14/23 10:36:26 PM #23 | LeadPipeCinche posted... BTW. Game prices are about the same as they were +30 years ago. I was paying $80 for games on the NES & SNES back in the day. irrelevant only people who point this out are GREEDY SELFISH ENTITLED Publishers and Developers,... and sadly gamers who got TRICKED RECORD PROFITS are being reported but wait HOW!?!? How can they have made MORE MONEY THAN EVER when inflation is going up and games prices aren't HOW!!!?!?!!? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/98e5ed01.jpg The answer is VERY VERY VERY SIMPLE 30 years ago you sell a $60 game and less than 1 million people buy it today you sell $60 game and 5 million buy on release 5 million more buy at like $40 and then several million more when it is like $20 but tbh price drop DOESN'T matter because they make the money from the store's purchase not you so they sell like 12 million now say store buys game at like $25 per copy difference: $25 X 1 million = 25 million $25 x 12 million = $300 million imagine your profits increasing that much and whining about it how fucking greedy must you be? |

WingsOfGood 11/14/23 10:11:00 PM #17 | Tropicalwood posted... But he can't really do that because nobody will pay $200 for GTA6 at launch when games have been $60 since forever. Not the right way to look at it. The argument doesn't exist within itself, it is not a vacuum. Rather the thing is GTA6 on the shelf at $200 and Elden Ring at $20 and BG3 at $40. That is why GTA6 will not sell at $200. It isn't because "games always been cheaper". Also many will not even think about those and will just say GTA6 not worth $200 for no other reason than they said so. |

WingsOfGood 11/14/23 9:41:00 PM #3 | Tropicalwood posted... The industry has pricing power, they've just been shifting the cost elsewhere these days. You used to have a million different costumes that could just be unlocked through normal gameplay in games and now that's a separate purchase called DLC. Wouldn't call that pricing power. That is an attempt to milk those who bought in to make up for those who did not as they felt entitled to a certain amount of revenue and didn't get it. The more they do this, the less people who buy in causing the need to do this more and more and aggressively and eventually you go too far and lose even those who buy in as they shift to indie games or ethical devs who don't do this. See BG3 and the response to it |

Topic | The HARD truth of video game prices : The Industry has NO pricing power |
WingsOfGood 11/14/23 9:24:43 PM #1 | Think about an article like this. Why does a huge publisher whine and discuss what they THINK games should be priced at? Why don't they just....price their games at what they think it should be? Take a moment, consider it. https://exputer.com/news/industry/gta-6-publisher-games-priced-per-hour/ GTA 6 Publisher Believes Games Should Be Priced Per Hour They know they can't just price games however they want and....have people still buy them. So publishers go on HUGE tirades to CONVINCE gamers to buy into the idea that...games SHOULD cost more. Because NOTHING is stopping them from pricing games higher other than gamers saying "I will pay that much" So far many gamers (intelligently in my opinion) have said I won't pay more. We see this with how SUPER fast games drop in price nowadays. This is a response to TONS of copies sitting on shelves not moving because...the PRICE is too high for people and the BUYING IS THEIR OWN PERSONAL DECISION AND FREEDOM! So what happens then is the industry realizes it doesn't have the pricing power. The product isn't essential where they can just manipulate it without blowback. It isn't something even super in demand. The product more of a "if you want it, when you want it, as you want it on your own time". Not even FOMO associated like with "limited edition" things. So they have to spend long hard hours to CONVINCE CONVINCE to make you DECIDE TO BUY into and argument that games should cost more. Do you buy it? |

WingsOfGood 11/14/23 2:32:04 PM #48 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldur%27s_Gate_II:_Shadows_of_Amn GameSpy, GameSpot, and IGN awarded it their "Role-Playing Game of the Year" awards for 2000, and the game has sold more than two million units. Maybe you guys should just admit you don't know much about PC gaming history or maybe gaming history in general like it is ok if you only play like Halo, CoD or Fortnite and never touched other games, nothing wrong with that, just don't act otherwise |

WingsOfGood 11/14/23 1:00:19 PM #30 | JuanCarlos1 posted... For a PC game from early 2000 when you just needed to hit 1 million copies to be a hit. BG3 IS still a niche game, cause it caters to the "nerds" with all its hardcore options you can go around playing it. Would you say the same thing of Diablo 2? It also a PC game pre-2000s that barely needed to hit 1 million. Legacy is important and BG2 has been discussed decades since as one of the best games of its kind and a classic. |

I have no idea the climate when BG2 released but since up till now it has gained huge popularity and considered a classic. I haven't even played it and heard and knew about it and neverwinter nights and ps2 had some loot game based on it I think like loot slash game. |
