Supply and demand people.  If you're not happy with these prices, don't buy the games. Then companies will either make cheaper games, go out of business or cut game prices.

The British Pound has gone a lot down so they're trying to get their profit margins back.

 

 

 

..and yet it is the popular games getting the price hikes.  This is just milking the fanbase.  Roll on R4s?

If they raised the price of the less popular games that would make them even less profitable. It's just good business sense to raise the price of the more popular ones.

Even with these price increases, games are still cheaper in UK than in the rest of Europe, so you're still getting a better deal than most.
