That's fine, the problem is people acting like it's outrageous to charge $60 for 100+ hour length multi-million dollar projects. Factorio recently increased its price by $5 to $35 in line with inflation and gamers are outraged. How dare they charge more money, it's totally immoral, etc. I don't get why people feel outraged about it.
- grishka 3y agoMy main complaint is not that games cost this much money, but rather about digital distribution. Especially with console games, it used to be such that you could buy pre-owned cartridges/discs and sell yours. It was really cheap to you, and technically the game developers also got their asking price for each copy they sold. You were also able to swap games with friends who had the same type of console. With digital distribution, you still pay the full price, but your copy is "single-use" in essence. You're never getting any of that money back. And, the only way to buy games digitally is "new" for that full price.
