60-70 dollers is insane for games

[REALiNSaNgAMingGODPrODIgY]

for 60-70 dollers i can get like 5 or more games on steam sales and i do. its just annoying i choose 1 game or like 6.

pain. i want to buy atomic heart and lies of p but man even for 30/40 dollers thats still so much.


what nice tho once i buy all the cheaper games i want i can buy the more expressive ones 1 at a time.


wish cheaper games was more a thing tbh.

Nothing like putting your blood, sweat, and tears, into a triple A game just to get laid off after so the publisher rakes in maximum profits and says making video games are too expensive so they hiked up the price.

Greed is my favorite.

I remember a time when Atari 2600 games would cost you 50 quid and those games could be created in a few weeks. They wasn't very good (looking at you ET) but they still cost an arm n leg compared to now days and they have nothing of the complexity of today's games.

This seems to be common practice at many stuido's these days. Im sure workers are fully aware of this and plan for it once the project is finish. But yeah, it's crappy and it's greedy. While the CEO's and top bass make millions in bonuses, the workers are laid off. But end of the day, that's none of our concern.

Exactly. I remember the original Zelda on NES being 59.99 which was literally 128K of data. No voice actors, HD graphics, orchestra's etc needed!

And it was still more intensive to make than most modern AAA games.

its not 70 even when the games where 60. it was something like 80-120 the first month for buggy unfinished games thanks to day 1 dlc and other dlc/cosmetics with the first month or two.
