base box cost has been $60 for well over 20 years while dev costs have grown exponentially since the late 90s/early 00s

even if they generate more revenue through dlc, base game prices are due a price hike to like 90 bucks

I don't remember anyone ever actually saying this but with the frequency of huge sales unlike anything that ever happened in retail I've found it to be true

Were you not around for this back in the PS3/360 days?

I just bought the $100 XCOM2 bundle on Xbox for $7 a couple days ago, there's a ton of deep sales on consoles also. I grab indies for a dollar pretty frequently.

They kinda are, because a lot of cheap indy games that would never get pressed into physical discs are in the PS Store for under $10. There's a decent amount of "pay to play" (not sure if that's the right term, but games like Fortnite that were free, but make their money on microtransactions).

Games that would've had no chance of being released as physical copies for under $20.

Now, if we're talking about big name, huge launches like CoD or Madden or whatever, there's not motivation for them to release them digitally for cheaper if people are willing to play physical prices for digital copies.

Adjusted for inflation, video games have been going down in price for a long time. The change from carts to CDs to downloads has helped that a lot.

Also Triple A titles specifically. Just a funny little thing from back in the day I remember people arguing about. If they don't have to make discs and cases and ship, all that production cost will be lower so they can charge less in online stores.

it did happen tho. there have and currently are some deep ass sales on games.

also if we're restricting it to just launch day and AAA games, i have gotten lots of AAA PC games at a discounted price on release day/prior to release

They definitely go on sale faster and for a deeper discount besides a few exceptions.

Buying a single player game on release is a waste of money unless you're a streamer trying to get in on the new hotness but that's just cost of business at that point.
