Games will cost $200 in the future.

[BAY ARENA]

Poor people can no longer buy games, rich people are not interested in games.
The gaming industry is about to collapse.
Thanks to studios like Bandai Namco, Square Enix, Capcom. nice, japanese!

Have you tried non-((AAA)) junk that only naive kids buy? I really hope nobody older than 18 actually enjoys ubisoft slop nowadays. That would be embarrassing.

And people wonder why games will cost 200$ in the future..

Games are a luxury and times are hard so you gotta put the work in to play.

I got base edition for 20% off. Most of these new released games can be bought with a discount if you look for it. Also you can buy from places that have rewards for buying.

Price of everything goes up with time genius. This is why an intelligence test is needed before people are allowed on the internet.

in montreal quebec canada games are already 103$ with tax.
thats 93.99$+provincial tax and government sales tax,

and most recently ps5 and series x games are 93.99$ which is alot more, then expected
games used to be 93$ with the same double taxes at 89.99$
and a few years before current inflation it was 79.99 which was 80 something bucks,
before that inflation in 2013,

games in canada used to cost 60$ which was like 70$ with double taxes,

so 200$ is not far off for canada prices.

Price fluctuates and atm we are in a soft landing recession to avoid a hard landing or worse case a potential crash.

In 1997 N64 games was 92 dollars in my country if you have the money cool, if you dont have money focus your time in find a job a let videogames for people with job and freetime instead of waste time and space crying along the net.

You're right..look at how many people the AAA industry keep laying off, as prices go up. 2024 is worse again ALREADY than 2023, which was much worse than 2022...and so on.
Subs won't save them...that only makes their product much worse...and another few years later...it'll all be gone.

Games will become the domain of the "whale$": This with psychological disorders which preclude self-control -- think: gamblers.

In many cases, gaming is already a quasi casino -- what, with all it's loot boxes, gacha, design philosophies involute to addicting consumers et al.. So, it's clear that the target market that the industry is aspiring to corner, are those who are most easily milked, and who will most likely become hooked... Kind of like the big pharma model applied to gaming.

If you've been reading any of the industry news, they're predicting big closures this year after 2023 was riddled with layoffs because investors are pulling out, games are taking too long to make, and prices are too high.

It's a cold, hard fact they aren't moving enough units at these 90+ dollar price points, so it's not just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

"Hurr in the 90s games cost..." yeah, what did everything else cost, though? Spoilers: Much less
