nah just less incentive to make games cost x2 than they did a couple decades ago

y'all about to pay like 150$ for GTA 6 anyways

Idk if this is a joke or not, but literally everything has doubled in price over the last couple decades.

is that not the problem?

Again, y'all lucky because we're currently paying double what we did 15 years ago Peep the post on first page, games would cost you $100 if their prices increased with inflation

Not if median wages have gone up by the same percentage???

Of all the the things that have become more expensive this is probably the least important, games are always on sale, you can pirate them, etc.

Compared to s*** like food, games have not gotten more expensive at all

Yeah literally this, gaming been incredibly inflation resistant, even compared to other forms of entertainment (like cinemas and s***).

Gives of the same vibe as ppl complaining about having to pay 12 bucks a month to listen to 100 million songs an unlimited amount of times with Spotify instead of paying 12 bucks for 1 album.

Genuinely you never have to unless you want to. The amount of free games I've gotten over the years and cheap ass ones as well, buying the occasion full priced game never bothered me.

GTA VI will be at a hundred and people will be thanking Rockstar

@op gotta be young as hell

S*** it's damn near $200 to play 2k fr

My gc already putting up a rack plus

I've never paid more than $59 for a videogame and I never will.

Real

you're right people defending this are just stupid sheep. No other form of digital media i.e music or movies has been getting less accessible to consume with time, only games and these idiots eat it up

And Imma be there every year

Gamepass out now

I remember during the N64 time when no one owned more than a couple games and had to rent everything cause they were so expensive

Really though I wish this talk was more about the shortcomings of our government and the insane increase of inflation. Anyone feeling some type of way about this should be protesting the American government as silly as video games are on the grand scale, this issue is still a direct complication of the rich f***ing us over and actively trying to keep us poors fighting over things like video games.

exactly, gamepass is the answer to this 80 dollar bullshit. More gaming sub services need to show up though

Brokie

usually just wait for Black Friday and Thanksgiving, Day 1 is so dead lmfao. I’m a patient guy

@DonkeyKong I love you so much, DK, but $80 is where I draw the line...
