Batman is getting pointed out but MK also released with a 100€ edition that contains the kombat pack. AKA, WB is trying to sell us games for 100€. Its not just one, its all of them. Greed.

I guess there is kind of the side though, that games cost more to make, everybody expects more from them, but nobody at all is prepared to pay any extra for them, and they're actually cheaper now than they have ever been, because the RRP of a game has been forced to remain pretty much static for 20 years but the actual market the games are being sold to is no longer growing at the pace to support this.

I guess WB in some ways are trying to find the middle ground. Just to play devils advocate to this whole "we're being massively ripped off" malarky.

You are giving them way too much leeway. Development costs rose 10% with this gen compared to the last. In europe at least, new games are released for 70 euros instead of 60. The launch prices in general went up for all new titles on the new consoles. The extra on top of that is taking the piss. They are taking advantage and they are pushing to see with how much they can get away with.

The guys in the US may be having a better time if they still get games for 60 dollars.
