I really never got the price increase when video games launched PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2020. For a price from 60 to $ 70, the triple-A titles may not seem to be at high cost, but this extra $ 10 tax meant that my ability to buy games on the launch had declined rapidly.
Apparently, I didn’t know how good we had when buying a game for $ 70 only because Nintendo Switch for Nintendo Digital Store Fronts is increasing its prices for 2 games, and there are reports that physical copies may be $ 90 in some regions. Throw the rumors that a pile of Grand Stolen Auto -6 will cost $ 100, and it seems that sports will still cost a fortune.
I didn’t think I would ever say that, but I think I would lose $ 70 games. I think you can enter an unbearable meme here.
You do whatever you want, I don’t care, you’re going to do it anyway
If Nintendo is raising its prices, we can expect the rest of the industry to follow its superiority. It seems like publishers are playing an irresponsible game of chicken when it comes to this problem. Spending hundreds of millions of dollars on sports development is not lasting because every game released for it requires widespread hit, and one way to reduce this risk is to sell games at a higher price. Unfortunately for developers and publishers, raising prices is a dangerous move because there is no report on where they are advancing their target settlement work.
Well, I think they have started to find it.
Gaming is getting very expensive for me, and I’m not sure what to do about it. $ 70 Games already emphasizing what I can afford, so I was leaning too much on the Xbox Game Pass so that many of the latest releases could be played. Ok, i Was, Even Microsoft jacks prices. And then jack them again. I think I have no more games. Now, I will need to see all four ash years that the game with old memories was $ 70, forcing myself to show myself as if I could afford them while also eating a whole meal every night.
Nintendo can allow the rest of the industry to increase its prices, hey, if Nintendo is doing this, they can do the same. It is too early to know which publishers are increasing the cost of their sports, but I’m struggling to see a fact where the publishers have the option of earning more money to maintain development costs and increase profitability.
Keeping the bar at $ 80 and possibly $ 90 also gives the rock star a chance to slap a price tag on GTA 6, a $ 30 increase of $ 30 or $ 20. And, I imagine that publishers feel about Nintendo, if the rock star is going to do this and earn even more money, many other companies will happily follow their superiority.
What is the last goal?
Gaming is moving in one direction which will not be followed by it soon. The price of everything is increasing. I can’t pay my fare, eat dinner every night, and can’t play new games. Only one of these things is a luxury, and I’m not going to disperse myself and my family so that the Legend of the Zelda: The Tear of the State of the State in 60 frames per second.
The difficult thing is, I am sure gaming should be for everyone. Art should not be something that requires standing purchase costs and disposable income Woods and Veds to engage, but just at the same place we are with it.
I can see the only way I can see: Prices are going to be so tough that they have significantly hurt the lower line of publishers, which makes most people not afford to video games. If the games are not being sold because their prices are too high, prices will need to come down, which means that sports will need low cost, etc. I don’t know if it is likely or not, but what is the last purpose here? Is just $ 20 in sports every five years for the rest of the time?
News Flash, Nintendo: I still make the same amount of money when the game increases to $ 70, and I know for the fact that it will not change just because video games want to make an extra $ 20. I showed it as if I could afford $ 70 games, but I just can’t show up while the game is more expensive, even if you play a random background role in Mario Cart World.
