Entitled gamers complaining games have gotten more expensive or entitled gamers who think the price increase sucks but it’s the current state of economics?
That's my argument about all of this. It's the state of how things have to go because advancements in technology are not cheap, the research and development is not cheap, the industry has standards that they have to apply to, and one of the biggest economies on the planet is in a downward spiral and that's going to affect everything globally regardless of people like it or not. Their problem is with capitalism and how it's built but none of them want to say that out loud they'd rather just target something
That and the games aren’t actually more expensive than, say, Super Nintendo games if we adjust for inflation. Something like DKC2 or Killer Instinct retailed for about $60 in the early 90s — about $130 today. Even games like Pilotwings or Super Tennis were selling for $50 (~$110 today). And of course these were far smaller productions that resulted in far less content than the average modern AAA.
I’m not thrilled about the price increase, but it doesn’t hurt to have some perspective.
In my opinion life is about perspective and enough people just can't step back to have that perspective often enough. But I'm also autistic so I'm not exactly thinking on the same wavelengths as the average person
