Games like spiderman, god of war etc, all have made insane profits for the companies. Games that are on multiple platforms obviously don't make as much, but basically the companies are making much larger profits already (Breaking records regularly as more copies are being sold).

GoW broke all the records and then Spiderman broke em again and I would imagine something broke them after that.

So they are actually making more and more, while the cost to create the game is not going up that much.

There is really no reason for them to up the price except greed, especially on digital copies, they are already making way more then ever in the past, and the new transition into mostly digital is going to make them alot more as well, not only because they get 30% more profit per sale on a digital copy, but because there will be much less (and eventually no) used copies sold (which means people will have to buy from them if they want to play a game.

It's basic greed, which sucks. I know, it's the norm, but PC seems to avoid that already, and now it's going to be even more likely for people to get games on PC if prices remain the same on that platform (not to mention launch sales etc on GMG etc).
