If that is all fixed by making games US$70, man I'm more than willing to pay that, I just ones quality games that work at launch. If making games US$80 ensures that Ill will not get a day one in disc DLC and micro transactions I'm willing to pay for that too. |
That is no fix. All that would happen is people will buy fewer games at full price. It might mean more money for games that are already making bank (GTA, COD, and the like), but that's about it.
