To those who say Octopath is not worth 60 dollars...

60 dollars for a game is cheap. 

Movie tickets average at 10 dollars for about 2 hours of entertainment. 

Games are able to give up to 200 times that, while only costing 6 times as much. 

Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu are about $10-$15 a month and offer hundreds of hours of entertainment. Most games run 40 to 60 hours. If they are online there's a subscription service unless you play on PC. Then you have to pay upfront for the hardware to play them on. Considering that, games are priced about the same per hour as other forms of media. So no. Game prices do not need to be raised. 

The argument you are making is the same one put forth by "games as a service" CEOs. I've seen news segments where some corporate stooge is making the exact same argument.  And it fails completely. 

By comparing prices to a streaming service, you are saying you would prefer game as a service like PSNow.  This is what corporations would prefer anyway so it is you who are playing into their hands with that argument.

 

No thank you, I would rather own physical copies or at least download the game to my own media.
