So with games going up in price does that mean there will be no more microtransactions, lootboxes, battle passes, season passes, DLC, mutiple special edtions, in game ads or any other bs industry mouthpieces have justified for years because games never rose in price past 60 dollars?

Wow. Nickel and dime, nickel and dime. It's not even like people are making more money than they have been. I'd like to swear off but I know I'll be getting God of War 5. At least it'll go to a dev who deserves it I guess.

Of course not. Guess I'll just wait until the end of the generation to consider getting one for cheap and when the games have come down in price. Not to mention the console is ugly as fuck and white electronics get dirty so much easier and then look like shit. Sony really is giving me plenty of reasons to stick with Xbox.

I'll definitely be getting the disc-based console then. Doubt that games will drop under $70 outside of PS Store sales. Gamestop got my back.

Games used to cost like 70-90, which is even higher when adjusted for inflation.

I'm surprised they plateau'd at 60 for as long as they did.

who cares lol

ten dollars more for something that costs drastically more to make. we've been avoiding this for awhile but 70 is still likely undercutting it. if you wanna cry so bad, wait for price drops. they happen very fast these days.

This is my thing. Inflation has risen, sure, but wages havent.

Since a lot of microtransaction things will be outlawed soon, makes sense.

This. And this was in the age where youd have to buy an entirely new copy of a game just for the upgraded/super/ultra edition of it (See: Street Fighter)

Cost of development is irrelevant to the consumer

if I spent billions of dollars on R&D for a pencil, the end result is still a pencil and needs to be priced as such to sell

well see what the market dictates but IMO even as a person who buys a lot of games day one because I can afford it easily, $70 is a hard pill to swallow

just too close to $100 for comfort imo. Thats a lot of money for one game
