so game prices haven't gone up since then yet production costs have sky rocketed. I see why so many devs are closing

game prices have actually gone down,  people just like to conveniently forget about inflation and let their sense of entitlement run riot

I have being saying this for years...I really think the price of games should go up by $10- $15. Devs really need this. It has come to the point that for the average developer to suceed or even stay afloat in this industry. They have to sell at the very least 1.5 million copies for every game produced or they start losing money. We need as many developers as possible so that new and fresh ideas can easily arise...rather than re-ashing the same thing over and over again (yeah, I am looking at you Activison and EA) because it is the safest thing to do.

 

No, game prices need to go down to about $20-$30 and they would sell far far more - similar to how DVD and Blu ray prices. I pirate almost all my games because the prices are ridiculously high compared to other media - if prices were $20-$30 I would actually pay for those games as would millions of others. Charge less and sell more.
