| ParanoidObsessive 09/25/20 7:05:13 PM #17: | To paraphrase Jim Sterling, it's kind of a specious argument when so many games treat the $60 price tag as a "buy-in" price, and then keep double and triple dipping later. When you're expected to pay $120 for the "Ultimate Edition", then extra for DLC and Season Passes, then on top of that they're selling microtransactions in-game, the publisher is making FAR more than the MSRP on every major game sold. Hell, Rockstar have sold something like 150 million copies of GTA V (which makes it the second-best-selling game in video game history), yet they've openly admitted that more than half their current annual income comes solely from in-game microtransactions in GTA Online. EA and Take-Two Interactive probably make even more than that from their sports games alone. And that's before we start getting into the money they save by cutting out the retail middleman and production costs they save by selling digital copies. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
