To be fair, this happened because games themselves couldn't raise their prices with the times. They've actually decreased in price from the SNES days; Final Fantasy 3 cost $80, for one. meanwhile the cost of everything has increased. Games can't work well at a base price of $100, so they try to pass the costs along piecemeal.
Something has to give.
- frik 9y agoIn reality games cost already $160 not $69!! Gold premium pre-order special edition version plus season pass or seperate DLCs means $160 or even more. On top of $160 you really think it's fair that one should pay even more for microtransactions and lootboxes!? Only whales are happy with that. The big mass of gamers is getting angry and is looking for pitchforks. There are publishers that release e.g. Witcher 3 with no DRM, and free DLCs for $60 and got very rich doing so. Or Grand Theft Auto V which is very successful already if you just count the singleplayer sales. It's all about the video game and its quality.
