That's why it's true that game costs do not increase. Wanting things to stay at the same price for years is wanting things to become cheaper. |
I think I remember buying FF9 for £35-40 back when it came out, I'm buying ME:A in week for £39... if only house prices stayed as they were is 2001. 20 years of development and games still cost the same. Dev teams have 5 times more people, costs are 5 times higher, RRP the same.
Games are cheap now. But like Ka-pi, I also never spend £50 on a new game, based on UK competition, you can find games cheaper and some lose value in weeks, let alone months.
Hmm, pie.
