Video games should be worth at least $100.
Console games were already $50-70 like 30 years ago. We were already paying $50-60 for PC games over 20 years ago. Meanwhile, development costs have skyrocketed. And you wonder why companies are cramming so much DLC and microtransactions nowadays.
If video games were $100 or even $150, I guarantee we wouldn't see all this microtransaction frickery.
If they fricking cost $200, im still pirating them
I would kill to gag on those toes
Games are getting worse and worse so they should cost less actually

Thread ended right here
you forgot your picture
Game companies refuse to make a single game worth $100. They've squandered the opportunities afforded by a consumer-base that has expanded and in order to keep margins up after alienating their main audiences, they resort to over-priced after-sales products of very poor value to undiscerning customers.
Yes
This.
With all those MTX, DLCs and Battle Passes AAA games should cost at most 20 bucks.
Black person if they made games $100 they'll still put microtransactions in because companies love profit
If the change happened now then definitely, but I get OP's point, the insistence in not increasing game's price while also demanding them to get use new console's full power was likely a factor in the creation of DLC and microtransactions.
Whatever, I’ll just keep pirating them.

Can I take your ass while corporations are fricking your mouth homosexual OP?
>b-bootlicker!!
Lmao at your little underage ass
I need a good couch for my sister to stay over, what's a good one? It has to be as comfy as a bed and take very little space
How little space are we talking?
1.60 meters wide, 1.80 long
FOOTA
Futa?
Don't forget the important fact that orc are black people and why labeling any race as evil is bad game design.
I agree, but what you really mean is they should cost $100 and I disagree with that. They cost $60 now, but most aren't worth even that.
I want a gf so bad
I went on dates with a cute younger petite coworker and she ended up giving me the "not ready for a relationship" line
yup going over to my bf's house in an hour haha loser
sounds gay
Save your time and money, not worth.
I dunno, the time we were sitting on the couch and she leaned into me when I put my arm around her was worth buying her dinner
Women are warm and smell nice and she was smol and fit right into me
And you didnt kiss her then!?
No wonder she gabe you that spiel in the end....
I did kiss her, we even made out
She tasted as good as she smelled
You caught feelings too quick bro. You'll get better after some attempts. dw, I know she probably seems like the only girl that matters at this time. If you made out with her then you've got some game, you'll do fine if you keep up the pursuit of chicken.
I'm with other anons in the thread though, for me, it's personally not worth
You say that, but like me you'll be missing your free time and quiet life after a year.
one day you’ll get bored with yourself, maybe, if you don’t, thats pretty cool and you should write a book about how to live alone, im not being sarcastic, id read it
Maybe they could fire a few diversity champions and other pointless positions and increase margins that way.
Video games were just highly overpriced 30 years ago
Based. Let paypiggies bleed money while I continue paying nothing and being happy
No shit dumbass, you JUST realized this? Hell consoles just now started climbing even though should probably be a grand right now.
The genies out the bottle though, pubs have realized it doesn't matter what the initial cost is, the real money is microtroonys.
nice selfie. matches your moronic views. on a woman could be so clueless to business practices. heres a hint. a company will always charge you as much as they think they can get away with.

Distribution costs have plummeted over the years with the rise of digital distribution. Do kindly frick yourself with a cactus.
All games are free
Also I love milfs
>Meanwhile, development costs have skyrocketed
where's the money going though?
CEO's.
You know what else has skyrocketed? sales.
They already make billions no we will not pay more for games.
cartridges cost a shitload more to produce and distribute
You have no fricking clue how supply and demand economics works.
A game can have limitless supply, it's a digital good, unlike produce goods or clothing only the original development time carries costs.
Video games will be sold at the amount which it maximises demand.
Video games have not gone up in price because the amount of customers has risen, while the willingness to pay above $60 for a game has not. Video game companies make more money than ever. If the price of video games increase, it's a sign that the target audience is simply willing to pay more, it says nothing about the actual quality of the product
You know the best part about pirating? No matter if they are $30, $60 or $1000, when applying the pirate discount they're all $0.
>B-but the industry will die if everyone pirates!
I fricking wish.
>buying video games
why? sjw games should be free for my culture.
Nah. They should be focusing more on shit that actually matters instead of expensive graphics. Ps2-PS3 level graphics is the most we actually need.
I am not even a graphics-gay since I only give a frick about if the game is fun to play, but it's still stupid to say that really fricking good looking graphics don't have a place in vidya. What they should cut down on however is the ridiculous marketing that has grown in size like an American at a all-you-can-eat buffet.
i can see your logic on the first part, you're an absolute moron on the second.
i cant believe i developed a foot fetish from this fricking site
Lovely feet
I want to give her a footrub, then lick her toes, then get a footjob

google says it's Futari Monologue Chapter 32
it is some absolute nutter that want to lick the shoe of a fellow schoolgirl.
It may be a "comedy" yuri manga.
Dyslexia made me think the title was something else
Reminder that video games are the cheapest consumer hobby with mass appeal. It is leagues more difficult to purchase blu-ray movies or collect LEGO sets than it is to amass a decent catalog of games. Just trying to buy every volume of one specific manga (tankobon or indvidual) can break the bank, meanwhile AAA games and indie games can be bought for literal pennies if you aren't moronic.
If videogames adjusted for inflation then the industry would improve overnight. It's already done so for 3rd-world nations hence why they pirate so often, but $70 is unironically way too cheap to be paying especially given that indies just... aren't allowed to sell for that high, on principle? It's kind of weird if you ask me.
Also people are literally fine with the government taking 1000s of tax dollars FOR FRICKING NOTHING but the prospect of paying slightly more for entertainment suddenly turns them into vigilante anarchists. I guess power bills don't exist either?
>Also people are literally fine with the government taking 1000s of tax dollars FOR FRICKING NOTHING
most people aren’t “fine” with it.
we are resigned to the fact that we can’t stop them.
i don’t want to pay taxes anon, but what am I gonna do? they literally take the shit before i get my deposit every week.
i don’t have the power to fight the government. theyve got me by the balls. they own me
Taxation is theft, the government promotes robbing its own citizens and using that money to fund proxy wars and the liberation of parasitic minorities. The fact that people think they're based for downloading software when they get their income siphoned away because Uncle Sam said so is a crime against humanity.
i agree.
we should march.
although my state legalized marijuana so i think i’ll just chill about it and keep living the best i can underneath the boot.
XD
I wish I sniffed my friend’s mom’s panties when I was a teen
Video games are one of the biggest mediums on the planet
they should cost 30$ at best and controllers should have been higher quality than they are now ages ago
it is a crime that they even charge you 60-70$ for a controller with no hall effect joysticks and half assed buttons with no buttons on the back
Anon, these are some current top selling games on Steam. Notice something?
beside there's a bunch of trash the average game is 20$ with taxes?
Sensual foot massage while she plays
absolute moronicness
once corporations realized they could shove dlc and microtransactions they decided to do it and they're not going back.
if they can make you pay double or triple for each and every single part of it they will, because the objective is to scam every last cent from you
i hope you get hanged
if they go up to $100 I'll just pirate them
i’d pay $100 for a videogame that was complete, had no dlc or cosmetics, did not require me pay to play multiplayer (if it is mp), came with a physical manual, and ofc i’s have to be interested in it from the offset.
nobody makes games like these and the closest is nintendo but they only charge $60
Yes there are companies making games like that, they're called Limited Run and they're just as scummy as big name publishers. Putting shit in a box and having no DLC doesn't automatically make a game worth the money moron
Isn't Limited Run the one that never actually sends you what you pay for?
only game I can think of that doesn't rip people off is no man's sky. they've added so much free dlc and updates in it that most israelite companies would rip the coin right out your pocket if it were them
i feel like i shouldn’t have to clarify but the unspoken assumption to my post is that the imaginary $100 game is good and fun.
otherwise id just be dissappointed.
most games aren't worth $20, but they still pump them out at $50-60
I only buy games on heavy discounts.
Video games should be worth $40 at most.
I'm not paying $60 for any new video game. Mostly not even $50, unless I REALLY want it.
$40 is the perfect price.
>but muh heckin dev timerino effortrino
Literally not my problem
Games costs from $100 to thousands since every fricking release has season pass and DLC with cosmetic cancer thoughever
>development costs have skyrocketed
While quality has plummeted, it seems.
>Milf gamer
Frick off I hate that Chobot c**t. Useless game reviewer, useless game writer, useless in everything gaming but somehow got a career because of Simps.
who are you?
she’s just a human, as far as i know she’s never hurt anybody.
don’t be mad cause you think she’s doing better than you.
She did hurt me. Mass Effect 3.
>If video games were $100 or even $150, I guarantee we wouldn't see all this microtransaction frickery.
In the 80s, you paid $20 for a video game.
In the 80s, you made $50k a year, for example.
In 2022, you make $55k, but the consumer power of $55k in 2022, has a quarter of the consumer power of what $55k could buy you, in the 80s.
You can raise that price up, if you want, but AAA games are failing more often than not. Unless you're a Rockstar game, a FromSoftware game, a Call of Duty game, or a sports game for one of the top three (Madden, FIFA, NBA), you're going to have to work to make up your budget. No other franchise is a sure seller anymore.
So just raise the price, you're only going to sell less copies.
They are. Every game that comes out has at least a $30 DLC. Even Resident Evil Village got one. Hell my first $100 game was Gears of War 3 in 2011. The $70 price increase is really from $100 to $110.
>BLAH BLAH BLAH videogames should cost more because of development costs!
Minecraft is still the best selling game of all time, was made by one guy, and the price tag has never been above $30. It's not the buyers job to make up for the poor choices of the seller.
Correct, but then again these meta-narratives about "game development" is driven by Triple A cutscene simulator crap.
Much like other companies that deal in services and entertainment, large vidya companies are full of useless employees that need to be paid, and thus the price of vidya almost doubled in one generation (of people, not a gen of games)
Every day I thank the Lord for making me not give a damn about AAA games
No they shouldn't, 90% of games aren't even worth $20. If devs want more money they should just make good games instead of pandering
does she frick younger guys?
There's literally no reason games need to cost as much as they do.
Proof: indies exist
she has such a hot face
Video games are worth like $20 tops because any day of the week I can play 30+ years of classics for free. How do you compete with that?
Look at the movie industry. They tried raising ticket prices because of "piracy". They tried raising prices because of production costs. They tried raising prices because of theaters shutting down. Every last change caused the general public to stay home and wait for DVD/Blu Ray releases. So what did they do, lowered the price of DVDs and Blu-Rays.
The videogame industry is the only industry that ignores customers wants, and charge through the nose for their product. It's not self-sustaining and sales are constantly below expectations.
All these buttholes that said we should have $70 game tried lowering prices to $39 on Black Friday, guess what happened to them? They found out that $19.99 is still the sweet spot and raising prices causes boycotts.
I don't know what the thread is about and I don't care. Post all pics you have of gamer girls with their bare feet visible immediately
Wages haven't doubled in 20 years so nobody gives a shit what an inflation calculator says.
And if games did cost more they would certainly still be ripping you off and it's childish to think otherwise. New games with tons of transactions openly brag about how much insane money they are making to justify themselves.
