Topic	The HARD truth of video game prices : The Industry has NO pricing power
ssjevot 11/14/23 10:40:13 PM #24:	WingsOfGood posted... The answer is VERY VERY VERY SIMPLE 30 years ago you sell a $60 game an less than 1 million people buy it Actually that's not quite it. The physical games cost much more to make back then. Per unit costs are extremely low now. Some games had their prices increased just to compensate for the cost of extra storage or performance chips in the cartridges. Development costs are higher now but the per unit cost is negligible now (it's actually mainly the cost paid to Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Valve, etc. for a sale on their marketplace). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:977220821] in The HARD t...
