I don't remember there being as much, but we also weren't being harassed by microtransactions with some companies making record high numbers. Now it just feels greedy.
Yeah. The stagnant $60 base price has always been one of the main arguments for the inclusion of micro-transactions.
Sucks but it is what it is. People have proven that they are more than willing to pay for MTX despite paying full price for a game.
Yeah but people will accept it with time or just wait for deals. Pretty much every items going to go up in price eventually.
So basically if you suckers go for it this year, maybe we do 80 next year and see if you still bite.
I'm not saying you were. It's just ironic to me. Other publishers have made this same decision and got major backlash as making a game from the ground up for a new crowd of gamers isn't justification to charge more.
Not every game, though. That's the issue. Some games can make easy money on MTX like GTAV.
That's how any industry wide thing would start. There's no collusion on this as that's illegal. Companies will see other companies selling at $70 and start selling it at $70 also as the doors open and they don't want to sell at $60 anymore. We'll have to see if other big publishers bite as well.
