ve got it wrong. Inflatuion is where the supply of money increases, and ergo the purchasing power of each power drops. I.e. Good old supply and demand, That's why inflation causes prices to rise.
You wanna know the joke. Games have been lagging behind inflation for decades. Like to an extreme degree. Compared to everything else Games have been relatively inflation proof but even games aren't immune to inflation.
Fun story. Publishers will charge as much as the market lets them get away wirth. SO if you don't like the price.. just don't buy. It'll drop to your range ..eventyually.
The way this is going is they will try to squeeze out the whales, as the economic decline continues casuals will stop buying games and they will focus on more and more aggressive monetization in games, so instead of letting more people have fun playing games, they will focus on whales and that sucks, because who wants to wait months to buy the game until price is acceptable.
In the long run of course they will realise damage they have done as gaming becomes more exclusive, but many people will just give up and move on by that time.
Also, there are 125 million active Steam accounts.
If they've done so much damage, why are people still playing? This isn't slowing down, in fact, it's the exact opposite.
By the time my financials stabilized I had a library of over 500 games on Steam, and 200 someodd across other PC platforms and consoles.
Most of the people working on games aren't billionaires, they're regular people with normal paying jobs. They have bills to pay, just like anyone else. The cost of games has been identical for decades, this is such a non-issue.
They may all be Steam users but that doesn't mean they are all Steam fans. Some people just look for things to complain about. 95%+ of the time it ends up being more about themselves than the actual discussion that needs to be had. Don't be surprised if some of them are actually only logged onto Steam to use the social media functions here.
Note: I didn't see any actual numbers from the topic creator. There is absolutely no information other than an explanation of what they believe is keeping people from affording games, i.e. themselves and those who complain along with (insert pronoun so I don't hurt feelings).
As some others folks have said it is all about priorities, i.e. reality. Sadly there are some folks not living in it right now (if you live in the U.S. right now you know exactly what I mean). There are far worse things going on in the world than game pricing.
Valve isn't sitting somewhere, taking notes on what is posted in these forums.
We certainly can't do anything about regional pricing either, nor can Valve or any other developer or publisher. Go talk to your government bodies and see what they have to say.
Valve and the game devs understand the abuse with Early Access play before release refunds. It's not new.
If the costs of base services are going up, that means those costs go up for everyone including corporations. Unlike physical goods, a game cannot 'shrink-flate' their game to keep price the same despite increasing operating costs
also you'd likely be the first out with your picthforks if gamedevs did you know things like reusing assets and animations between games to you know 'save costs'. but you call it 'being lazy'. So they either save costs and are called lazy, or create bespoke assets for literally everything and then you're wondering why games are so expensive to make. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too.
Dude. The US is living large compared to where I am so don't complain m8.
Simple truth is, You either keep up with your earning power. or you cut back on stuff.
Simple as. And strangely enough you'd be surprised at how many great games you can get as long as you're not cghasing launch day AAA releases.
I agree with 99% of everything you said. The only thing I don't is thinking someone isn't watching these boards, Steam or otherwise. It pays to knows what people are thinking no matter if it is negative or positive.
And if I am being honest here then if Steam or developer controlled boards aren't being followed closely what is the point of forums? There have to be mods running them. At some point something will be said that gets directed to the right people.
You'd be surprised. The point of the boards.. is right there in the name. DIscussion. It's for users to discuss stuff amongst themselves.
Always remember in capitalism there's a constant tug of war between buyers and sellers. Sellers will always charge the maximum price they can get away with.
1) You can be a fan of a business and realize it is a business. Besides, I never said I was a fan. I appreciate what they do. BIG difference.
2) You know the people who say the U.S. is "living large" aren't paying attention to what has been going on here lately ... not to mention that some folk keep fooling themselves into believing the U.S. economy doesn't have a part in the larger world. You pay zero attention to what the U.S. gives to other countries. That's the simple truth. If you were as smart as you sound you'd be in the U.S. "living large" with the rest of us. It's a straw man argument that is used by people who can't be honest. BTW it isn't my fault or the fault of others where you live. If you want to better yourself you know what to do.
Look, I don't want to come across as an angry American. I want people to realize it is a lot harder everywhere than what you think ... including in the U.S. which is a place people are rushing to from all parts of the world right now. Thanks to the people in charge right now this is far from being the America you think it is and inflation is a big part of that.
Fact is video games are a first world problem no matter where you live because they aren't a necessity. That's the real end game. There's rarely a great ending in real life no matter where you live.
