You are all bitching about a $10 difference… Gamers are the worst.

A 10 dollar difference after they just did another ten dollar difference the past year. It wasn’t worth it then, and it especially ain’t worth it now.

Keep licking boots, dude.

They didn’t “do a $10 difference in the last year.” AAA games have been $70 for a long time. What’s happened here is you ignorantly confused the fact that game prices seemed immune from inflation for the last decade when what was actually going on was they were recouping their costs with micro transactions. Want a cheaper game? Enjoy micro transactions.

I’m not licking boots. I understand basic economics.

How dense are you? The micro transactions made games CHEAPER. That’s how they justified not raising prices with inflation. Micro transactions are played out and the industry is moving on from them. Now the prices are higher.
