Even if you hate it (especially if you buy primarily AAA games) it’s not such a crazy idea for a few reasons:
1. The market will likely pay it. Sure some people will wait for discounts, but that was going to happen anyway.
2. Gaming production prices have gone up considerably, as has the volume of developers in video game development, while a select few games are selling better than before, most aren’t.
3. Converting 1986 USD to 2025 USD, The Legend of Zelda released for 143 USD.

Part of the issue is games have dropped in price when they haven’t been able to afford to do so if they want to maintain the profitability of past times. On the flip side, this mostly effects the AAA industry (such as EA, Activision, and Ubisoft) and other high fidelity games, but I’m more of an indie fan anyway so it doesn’t effect me too much. Although, I do love large scale productions like Breath of the Wild and Witcher 3.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
