Good! I would prefer them not to go bankrupt while working on all those wonderful things.

- Zambyte 3y agoHuh? I haven't played Baulder's Gate 3 yet but I have seen nothing but praise for that game, and I don't believe a copy has been sold for less than $60 yet. I don't think games being too expensive is the issue. Games simply not being interesting or fun is.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoit's more for indie games than AAA stuff. But AAA did have complaints of going from $60-70, so there's that. >I don't think games being too expensive is the issue. Games simply not being interesting or fun is. Certainly. When prices raise demands change. But I don't think any other industry would call a $10 price hike "anti-consumer". That's where it gets a bit weird. It is ultimately internet noise either way, though. Not reflective of how consumers really buy. Zelda sold fine even without a new console to justify its price raise to. I'm not worried about Spiderman 2 either.
