  • I think a lot of the problem is that they cheap out to maximize profit.

    They could spend 1 million dollars and make a decent game for $70.

    Or

    They could spend 2 million and make an amazing game for $140.

    But the price of the video game has been locked around 60-70 for years.

    Even if you made star wars outlaws just a little better it’s not going to sell that much more.

    Looks like it’s already at least 50% off

    You can’t spend 2 million, sell for $70, then expect your game to go on sale anytime soon.

    Spending 1 million, and selling a ton at $70 or even $35. Turns a profit.

    TL;DR: We’d get better games if we were willing to spend more


  • “games are ridiculously expensive at full price”

    A board game with paper and plastic pieces can range from 12-45 dollars

    People will go spend $20 at the movies for 1 night

    Hell I’ll pay 100 if it’s a good game

    I have 1200 hours in Overwatch. $60 (free now). I have paid 5 cents per hour to play it. I am completely happy with my purchase even though it’s free now.

    If the game isn’t worth it, don’t get it. But to complain about it is ridiculous.

    Some N64 games were $50-$60 dollars back in the 90’s

    I feel like we are fortunate
