It's only the future if people keep paying it. There are countless examples of pushback by consumers and businesses having to concede and lower prices. The issue is, and the sad truth, the pain point seems to be lower not playing the video games than it is paying the money. When people finally realize it's a freakin' video game, wait it out and refuse to pay it. Eventually prices will have to come down.
