The physical item has gotten cheaper but the production of the actual content continues to grow in cost. As people demand better graphics, more voice acting, motion reference/motion capture, the costs continue to increase. Microtransactions are a great way for these companies to obtain more money to help with their bottom line while not increasing the price across the board on all gamers. |
wrong, the installbase got bigger, they get more money than ever. What changed is the high demand from stock holders to raise profits. These gaming companies sold all their shares to them instead to remain independent
