JonB 150 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 SonyScums smh Inside publishing houses, a price hike has been plotted and dissected by executives for years. They point to inflation, as well as the ballooning cost to develop triple-A games, as justification. At one point, Sony discussed going even higher before settling on $70. Many of the game executives requested anonymity, apparently because they recognize the move is unpopular. In many cases, companies won’t acknowledge the fee increase, saying only that prices will vary by title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lostfool 680 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I see this happening with big AAA games. It simply costs so much. Many games are well over 100 million and some over 300 million to produce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 $70 is still hard to justify for a lot of games, especially if they just offer the same experiences to the ones from this gen. We need more Death Stranding calibur experiences, I would have no qualms with paying $70 for something like that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PC game prices have been matching console prices for the last 2 gens. You do realize that right? Its only a matter of time before those new releases are also $70.

At least, I have a steering wheel setup with pedals. I do need a competent PC though. Don't even know where to start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
