That's what 'collectors editions' are for right?

There's no way the extra stuff you get really costs $30-$40+ more dollars.

EDIT: Read that horribly wrong. 

I'd rather not see games go above $60. I don't mind DLC and season passes (sometimes) if the company allows the game to be out for a few months or so before whipping out DLC in our faces. I think Fallout 4 did it best. While I have no way to confirm they didn't hold DLC back, the expansions felt well spaced and the season pass was a great value. 

I remember Donkey Kong Country being $74.99 back in 1994. 

Games are already far too cheap and they're getting cheaper every year.

A $60 game from 2005 should now cost $75, but instead they are still charging $60. A price increase is long overdue and should definitely happen next gen.

Publishers HAVE TO include DLCs and microtransactions to make as much money as before. That's the cost of $60 games.

1. Average in quality.

2. One quick example in Nier: Automata:

There is not one single human (at least to the point where I played).
This helps show that your story does not always have to be a human one, that you can still explore human themes whilst not relying on humans directly.

Granted you do play as androids, but it does still add variety to video game stories.

Nier: Automata does much more to progress video games, this is just one quick example.
I do plan to dig a bit deeper into the topic once I have finished the game.

It's not so black and white to where if a developer is not profitable than it must be their fault or fuck em. I mean dont you want video games in general to thrive, i believe its the best entertainment medium out there. Why wouldnt you want someone that produces products that you thoroughly enjoy and consistently consume to flourish and be profitable, it leads to more opportunity for investment back into their future products. Your type of thinking isnt profitable for anyone.

Why not releasing more games instead?

Well the thing is most things doesn't move their medium forward. Most movies are done only to make money not to develop tech or push the industry, so are most games, nothing inexpected.

Yep, I do the same, although for Skyrim i deliberately got a heavy discounted plain version instead of the GotY one because Morrowind GotYE is so large and filled with sidequests (actually it's more crammed than large, the world is just ~25sqkm, I roughly estimate, but filled with caves, mines and buildings that having the indoors loaded separately have been made out of scale and a lot larger than the outdoors world could contain),  that it's still sucking my gaming time, each time I drop it to play something else, if I wait too much before playing it again I get lost and it takes me time to resume all the threads of my insanely multiclass and multiguild high elf  , so I wanted to prevent Skyrim from doing the same.

well as a kid growing up i always paid 70+ for my snes and n64 games. shit I remember my mom paid 99.99 for mortal kombat 2
