Topic	in response to gamers upset at EA, analyst says game should cost more

Darkman124 posted... they are priced to what people will pay period that's exactly my point. people don't want to see any higher than a $60 base price tag on games. if it's higher, they won't buy it. and that's because games have always been that price, even 25 years ago. but $60 25 years ago is not the same as $60 today. hence, gaming companies have had to resort to other methods of getting more money out of their products, almost entirely more sketchy and underhanded than simply raising the base price. so, like it or not, we as consumers brought these shitty monetary practices on ourselves. that's the truth. 25 years ago games didn't make a billion dollars on launch weekend because the number of people buying games was much, MUCH smaller. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
