That's called a scam. And I dont support it, neither I support spending your cash on it.
I wish them luck. I understand there can be fast inflation in some countries and people need to pay slightly more. Think that a lot of people will sabotage this trend instead waiting for Xmas sales etc.
Lets say I bought a new Toyota RAV4 4 years ago for 22.5-23k pounds.
After 4 years it is still around 23k pounds for a new car. A plenty of manual factory work. You can not buy it digital. yet the PC games prices should go up so much.
it's unbelievablle.
Games aren't comparable to cars. Totally different product. But with the car, you are paying what the maufacturer deems to be proper market value. That is how all products roll. Games actually haven't increased prices to fit inflation so we are getting better deals now than in the past for most titles.
You say that they are not comparable to cars. Replace the car with game and the manufacturer with publisher in your sentence.
Does it look any different?
Plus inflation of what and whom. In Switzerland it can be deflation instead. In Poland hyperinflation. In the UK very slow inflation.
There is psychological price barrier beyond which people are not ready to buy anymore.
It not like buying bread, milk or potatos.
It is like comparing a bicycle to a novel. Doesn't make much sense. Know what I mean?
On the balancing side, DISTRIBUTION of a game is much cheaper. Although you need powerful servers to keep the game and powerful network to handle the large numbers of people downloading, other areas of distribution are far less expensive.
No more factories to burn and press disks. No more disk art (now it's all screenshots instead of graphic design). No more trucks to ship them. No more distribution hubs. No more factory workers, truck drivers, distribution hub workers. That's a massive cut in personnel costs, including salaries and benefits. That's also a huge cut in costs in real estate, vehicles and support.
As I said: games do START OUT expensive, but get cheaper quickly.
One advantage of the distribution model, is that 15 years ago, stores only had shelf space for the latest games. Older games could be bought at used games stores, but it was luck whether or not you could find good games. These days: all those old games are so easily available, and super-cheap too.
Also digital distribution opens the door for a lot of small and indie developers who otherwise would never have gotten a game to market.
They are not mandatory to survive but make your life better.There is no prove that the games are underpriced. Compare how it used to be in the 80's having a ZX spectrum at home and buying casettes with what is going on now.
The technologies develop and often get cheaper. There was a time few years ago where only very rich could buy a cell phone. now you can get any junk you like quite cheap
The new games can have a lot of iterative improvements as well. Let's say when the game engine gets fully used after the initial start. It doesn't mean that this technology should suddenly become more expensive.
I disagree. Both are still products. both get improvements quite often. Supply and demand applies to both of them.
The technologies develop and get older or get upgraded. Suggesting that PC games are undervalued is a nonsense.
To say they are overpriced isn't much better since people buy these games. Otherwise the prices have to drop to convince people to buy them.
Yes actually it does. A car is a high bulk product that costs a significant up front investment for the consumer and who's value depreciates over time do to wear and tear. Gmaes are an entertainment product more comprable to books or movies. Even less so when you consider digital. They have no bulk, and the do not depreciate in value technically.
Basically games have not really in creased much in their buying price NES games used tro cost on AVg $30 With some costing more, others cost less.. Now look at the production quality of a nes game. Now compary it to something like MK X.. MK X cost about twice as much as a SMB3 Cart but which game do you think cost more to develop and produce?
