If it’s a game I’m going to get hundreds, or sometimes thousands of hours from, then I’ll pay more. If you look at price per hour spent on entertainment, it’s hard to compare. However, you often have to wade through a bunch of shitty overpriced games to find those gems.
Sits back in porch chair, Back in my day you could get a fully complete console game wið online multiplayer and all ð bells and whistles, for just ÞIRTY DOLLARS
alþough I stand by the opinion þat þe voiced-voicless distinction between þorn and eð is someþing superimposed onto English later on, as eð and þorn were used interchangeably for a time and it was more a question of time period raþer þan voicedness
I mean ð distinction is well and truly ðere now, so a spelling reform ðat tries to reinstate a spelling convention from a period when it wasn’t is really just slapping a coat of paint on the same kinds of historical spelling issues ðat English still has.
To me bringing ðem back isn’t a matter of restoring old spelling, it’s a matter of using what once was to make something ðat works for the here and now.
Moderate Inflation (around the 2% target) is necessary for the current economical system to function. It incentivizes people to either invest or spend their money instead of sitting on it.
Games have been around 60 dollars for over 30 years now. Not sure what you’re on about. If they had gone up 10 bucks with each console generation they would be like 150 at this point.
$50 should still be the norm.
I refuse to ever pay $70 for a game

Okay, back to EU4 now ;)
I will only do this for games I know I will like, from studios I want to support.
I literally will wait until a sale ends to buy a game made by Yoko Taro or FromSoftware at full price.

Should probably tell inflation to stop being a thing, then.
To me, $70 is a reasonable price based on what bread costs now, but the minimum wage needs to like, triple.
The focus on freemium games and whales may even be driven by America’s wealth gap.

I’m not sure we share the same definition of price gouging.
Seems to me like they’ve just upped the price $10 with each successive generation of consoles.
