One issue with more expensive games is it takes longer to go down to reasonable price levels. Its not a big issue for me personally because there is Game Pass and i have a large enough backlog so i can just wait it out.

It would be no problem if the larger revenues from higher prices were used for getting devs paid. But then i look at the financial results from all these companies and just lol.

I don’t know think this industry price increase is about offering something in return in terms of quality or developer compensation, it appears they just think it’s the standard that should’ve been long ago. Like they were losing money on $60 games or something, lol.

I hope this industry uinionizes soon, that’s the best chance of fair developer compensation and healthy work standards.

I kinda noticed that PS games are getting less sales and discounts than they did during the PS4. I hope Xbox doesn’t also do the same. They were both great with discounts last-gen (unlike a certain other platform), think outside of Forza Horizon Xbox games got to $30 and less pretty quickly.

Based on this year, they do far more sales than PS and Nintendo. We should be fine. I mean it took this Black Friday for PS5 to actually touch $29.99 and those games were from last year and a half.

Yeah that’s what I mean, I hope it’s just for the first 2-3 of years of the gen. On PS4 I got PS exclusives for $20-30 fairly close after their release.

I got a good feeling about it. We’ll wait and see.

Sucks but this was allowed thanks to people buying games on playstation at that price. Anyway, good way of making sure we stay on gamepass. Even with an increased price on the sub, in the future, it will still be more worth than spending thousands for a bunch of games that I might not even like.
