Because I should be "happy" when companies dig content from my $60 game and try to sell it back to me. I should be "happy" when content is taken from my game and sold to me in "pre order only" fashion. I should be "happy" when my game has on disc DLC, download only multiplayer codes and always online DRM.

Yeah, keep on smiling.

 

Go back in time and crack open a fresh $60 SNES game with a wopping 4MB of content and 1/500 the amount of man hours that are put into games nowadays. Factor in inflation and...

realize that you are being utterly ridiculous. Gaming, as with all technology, as just become cheaper and cheaper. IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, many AAA studios are drowning due to the huge costs involved in developing a game.

People like you irritate me. Mainly because you display a complete lack of insight and perspective. But also because you are all over the place and incredibly self-righteous.

100% agree with you. If devs could choose of course they would like the games to cost as little as snes times, but they know that they need to offer what their public wants and that costs money and a lot so they need sells. I would love to have releases (non-indies) costing 15-20 30-40 and 60. The problem to me is "bad" games costing the same as AAA new. When a game cost 10M sell for the same as the one costing 250M.
