Games Are More Expensive Than Ever, and It’s Only Going to Get Worse
Yes but everything is more expensive than ever
Which means games are pushing themselves out of the market despite looking to make more money.
It’s always a value proposition. If I feel like a game is a better value/ROI that whatever else I was going to spend my money on, I’ll still get the game.
Sure, I’ll have more limited number of purchases due to having a cap on discretionary spending, but if it costs more for all options, it’s different math that games being more than, say, a night out or a movie or whatever. I can easily say, I’d rather spend $45 for a few beers and dinner with friends than an $80 game, but if I get 100+ hrs of enjoyment out of a game and that dinner goes up to $80 as well, the game makes more sense. Or maybe having them over for some couch coop and we just get a sixer from the store instead.
Everyone will make this decision differently and that’s okay.
