looking how my most expensive game is the collectors edition from skyrim (that included a t-shirt, a book, ost-cd and some postcards) for 40€ Hell no, as if I would pay 80$ for one game.



No, games should be complete from the beginning.



No, 50 for AAA or 25 for normal titles is the maximum I am willing to pay, including all extras.



Dead or alive 5, and all it's DLC is almost 1000 dollars. But, aside from that, I'd do better to wait for a sale, or buy PC versions, if possible. I already hate buying games at 60 dollars. I wouldn't ever pay 80, unless there was a lot of extra physical content.

or you can do what i do, wait for the game of the year edition with all the extra content at 40 or 50 bucks.

Smart man.  Although they're usually closer to $30-40 at launch, $20-26 a month later.

This is far too broad a question for a global market. They're already $80+ in some countries. Generally speaking though, games are far too cheap for their budgets nowadays as it is quite often. It's a fine line to walk, but gamers are too stubborn to pay more than $60 when historically they're the cheapest they've ever been in the US. We keep yelling about pre-ordering being a problem but collectively if we all calmed down and STOPPED buying unfinished AAA games every year, publishers would have no choice but to either cut back budgets, delay games to finish them correctly, or raise the prices to match budgets and bring on a bigger task force.

No solution is an easy one to this issue though, and we're all collectively too entitled to pay more or wait for our favorite series' next game, so we'll keep paying $60 for unfinished games for years to come.



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

I mean like 80 USD (games are already 80$ here in Canada). And of course I've laid out what exactly the terms would be, in which we'd get all content present and future for free.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Testify!



I've definitely learned my lesson over the last few years. As much as I love a game and get my $60 worth, there's no guarantees I'll still be playing it or care about DLC down the road.
