Why are games so expensive?

[mowe]

This may have been the case for a long time, but there's not denying that $120 (plus tax) is a LOT of money to be paying for two games. That's why piracy is so big, paying hundreds of dollars for video games is ridiculous, I don't care how good they are.

That's also why I only own two games; I just can't afford anymore. Sure I can get a job, which I will, but games are just gonna get more extravagant and more expensive.

There's nothing we can do about it but it's still a pain in the ass.
