Topic	"Games should totally cost 70 dollars now! Too expensive to develop!"
LinkPizza 09/26/20 8:59:20 AM #39:	Clench281 posted... The graph shows that video games are selling for less than they used to (adjusted for inflation). That every unit sold brings in less value than it used to. This is entirely in line with developers/publishers claiming that video games should retail for a higher amount. It even shows that games historically have been valued at an amount equal to $70 in today's dollars, furthering their point. If development costs have increased, it would stand to reason that costs would be even greater than that. But I think it's also cheaper to make them. Before, games were expensive to make. They are cheaper now that you can put them on discs. Not to mention they already got rid of the manual. And it's going to be the same price for digital, as well. Which is absolutely insane. They just want to increase their own profits, and I don't think the people actually making the game will see any of those profits... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
