Not after Forspoken flopping.
I hope this results in the big walkback. 70 dollar games just failing one after another.
We did.
Nintendo will be the first to make it work, mark my words
$0 games are the norm, moron
Not with denuvo
those games suck anyway
he's here everyone, thread's over, he won again how can we possibly stop him oh no no no!
name 3 good games with denuvo
>i-it's not like i wanted those games or anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
name one fricking game with uncracked denuvo
Still free for me
Still not paying it.
We get more sales these days it balances out I think
Why did no one kick and scream in 2006 when they raised it from 50 to 60 dollars?
There was a large uproar, but also PS2 > PS3 graphics made many people think "well damn. this isn't so bad."
but game dev has gotten worse since those days, not better. costs need to be coming way way down to reflect that.

Production costs don't change depending on whether you're making something good or bad, anon.
AAA games can cost $70, sure. All that means is that my standards for what merits buying on day one go up.
The PS2 > PS3 is a bigger leap than even the fricking PS3 > PS5 is
>the hike to $60 happened 17 years ago
jesus frick where does the time go
>2006 was 30 years ago
>30 years ago was 50 years ago
They did and people eventually just accepted it. Groceries went up but did you change what you buy as a result?
>Why did no one kick and scream in 2006 when they raised it from 50 to 60 dollars?
i was a third grader
If you aren't pirating for free or waiting for 80%-90% sales then you're doing it wrong.
it's been 70 since like PS2 days here. is not big deal. just buy -80% sale like everyone else
>now
Secret of Mana cost me fricking $80 when it came out.
>first party controller for only $14.99
holy fricking shit is that something we took for granted
Controllers were a lot simpler back then. No analog sticks, no vibration motors, no wireless, no battery.
ya back when the market was archaic dumbass homosexual
doesn't make his point any less true moron
god i hate underaged homosexual kids
>people were paying $130 for video games in the 90s
Games were also complete products in the 90s.
True, you got a final product, unpatchable bugs and all.
To be fair, bug testing was pretty thorough back then so bugs in shipping products were rare.
And they were so replayable that I still play emga drive games I played back then.
>super nes system
N64 games were very expensive at the time too. Those things would be like a hundred dollars each in 2023 money.
I remember ogre battle 64 cost me 85 USD
worth every penny, an incredible rarity when it comes to overpriced games, especially N64 games
Wasn't there also some shortage for the memory that was used in floppy disks and cartridges which made them pretty expensive?
Ram use to have supply issues and was always a expensive component. Cartridges cost way more to manufacture than cds and the prices of them could fluctuate greatly at times because of this.
It's actually surprising it didn't go up sooner, like 5 or 10 years ago sooner. They used basically every other possible option before doing this
where have you been the past 2 years
look at that little shit asking to get absolutely assfricked by grown ass men.
>also
YYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
$70 for call of duty seems worth it because of all the content it has and it's an extremely polished product so you're definitely getting your money's worth and there's definitely not some israelite laughing his rich ass off at all the dumb low standard goys buying MW2022.
>$70 for game
>Phone number registration required (PC only)
>$10 for the battle pass every few months
>$30 for weapon skins
>Premium currency system
>repeat in 10-12 months
more than anything else in the world I want cod and every single game like it to die, but it's never gonna happen because they make billions per year off mouth breathing morons with this system
Plus tip (monthly subscription to access basic features of the game)
>we've had $70 games as the norm in Canada for a decade
>Went up to $80 5 years ago
>Now it's fricking $100
>Our wages are also 79% of an American wage while goods cost 21% on top of a fricking 15% sales tax
You now realize there were never peaceful solutions
many such cases in a israeli debt economy.
I fricking hate our cuck govt
But anon what about MUH HARPER??????
fricking christ the fact that we live in a time where the two main political parties that actually decide elections in Canada since all you need to do is win Ontario and Quebec are outright fricking admitting to collusion, we're rapidly approaching third world tier debt and inflation all while being called a nazi bigot Harper/Trump shill if you ask what the frick is going on is infuriating
I fricking hate leftists so much
the last games i bought were
dayz (on sale)
teso (on sale for dirt cheap)
bf1 (game was shit, refunded after 30 mins)
insurgency sandstorm (game was shit refunded after 30 mins)
>moron paying for garbage because its cheap
Hey anon I've got a rancid turd floating in my toilet, want it for $2?
will you give me a refund if i am not satisfied
the last game I bought was, uhhh
8 yuros
the last time I paid full price for videogames was the fricking N64. who buys full price videogames nowadays?
inflation hits us all
1. As per the Monkey Island time capsule, games are actually over priced compared ideal average in the past. Despite what all the gaslighting would lead you to believe.
2. "Inflation" does not account for actual purchasing power of the average person. Average wage income does not necessarily inflate at the same rate as prices. In fact it hasn't at all.
Jokes on you I have enough Doom WADs to last me a lifetime
I've got so many games on sale that I get maybe one full priced game a year. Can't understand people who have time to play every new release.
>wait two years
>buy on steam sale for $20
>Wait five years
>Lowest sale goes down to $55.99
wat game?
Never felt the urge to buy games on release outside of er, but that was 53€.
>$70 games are now the norm.
THANKS SONY
don't care
im not buying any of them
Thats cool
Ill wait 2 weeks to buy then 50% off
The last good game to come out was Elden Ring and that was $60. The only games to use the $70 pricetag were garbage so its not the norm yet.
My mom got me Mario Kart Wii for Christmas in 2008 for what was 70$ then. That was a quarter of her monthly salarythen in my EE shithole. It used to be the norm for console since then.
I haven't paid more than $10 for a video game in almost 2 decades.
Maybe get some impulse control?
I got my games for free
I haven't paid 80€ for a game ever, not gonna change now, frick megacorporations and frick capitalism
A good thing those $70 games are all trash and most of them aren't even worth $40.
Don't buy them, the price will drop in a month. And the DLC's and fixes will only be out in like 9 months.
$69.99 is a pretty fair and affordable price considering the amount of work that goes into creating video games and I think most gamers would be pretty happy to pay that amount.
my rule of thumb is 1 dollar to 5 hours of enjoyment. this is an absolute baseline, the quality of the game can be considered only after it reaches this baseline, the only game I have ever played that doesn't follow this rule is Radiant Historia.
I don't have an issue with a FULL GAME being $70. The issue is games are now made to sell you half of it at launch and make you buy the rest in season passes and two years worth of patches/DLC later down the road.
>Forking over seventy dollarydoos for a video game
You did not pay the game.
Some games were priced like 70€ like 10 years ago too.
I wish it was simple as
>number goes up so it's more expensive
Inflation is a thing, it was inevitable. I'm also pretty sure the push for DLC and stuff like that also came because of less profit margin. So you usually paid more like 80 bucks for the complete game
29,99 2-3 months later
its fricking over isnt it
