hereforemnant 03/26/24 5:48:42 PM #90:	SHRlKE posted... I know everyone is loving the idea of MS concentrating more on games than consoles but competition is good. If Sony is the only main player left in the game (heh) then the lack of competition means they can increase prices without fear of people jumping ship. This is a capitalist myth man I'm sorry. They will raise prices regardless of how competitive anything is. The only point to competition is that it might force them to innovate technologically, but we've seen game prices go up recently in that sector, while the quality isn't anywhere near apparent to justify the price. Game Pass prices went up, PSN prices went up, NSO prices went up. Game prices went up, MTX are more present than ever before with expansion passes, battle passes, etc etc. Price leadership is what competition actually is, & it's a lie that companies actually compete the more there are. They just buy up one another instead. <cite>hereforemnant posted [p:979577577] in Publishers...
