I’ll leave it here ..

It seems only recently raised to $ Gamebookerscasino.uk 70.

Whether it will still be when GTA 6 will be released for $ 100 in the base edition.

Choose sales. Do not chase novelties.

lol, now only sales and piracy. No Fulprais.

Every time they write such garbage, it must be reminded to everyone that Sarah Bond received 30 annual salaries of two closed studios as a bonus for 2024. And Phil Spencer is clearly more.

The sale will be repaired, by the way.

Or not, hello, jedi survivor

Here the problem is that 60 bucks were almost twenty years. During this time, it was not that inflation happened, but his mother by the leg of the world economic crisis! Games still kept a bar of 60 bucks. Then, during the time of Covid, some publishers raised the price of up to 70 bucks, since Covid greatly influenced the economy and we need more money (ironically that we started this trend 2K). And what do we see? There is no Covid, but the prices remained. Now many are justifying the price of 80 bucks with a rise in the cost of development and tariffs. Interesting, and when the tariffs are canceled, the prices will return? Of course not.

Large publishers have shown the top profit over the past 5 years, you really think that they, the poor, do not survive at all and they need more money? Do not forget that from the eighth generation endless DLC and Season Pass have come into use, which brought even more grandmas to publishers. But you are not, the development is getting more expensive and the top managers have nothing to eat.

It is a pity that only the developers themselves who do not affect the pricing.

And if the rise in price of up to 70 dollars could be justified by inflation, then this clowning with $ 80 is just a convenient excuse to earn more dough, because Pilles are raising.

P.S: I remember that Remedy, when releasing AW2, reduced the price of the game to $ 50, as they refused a physical copy. This is what inflation is such that in two years the games have risen in price by 30 (!) Bachey?

Hmm. And they didn’t buy it, now they also raised the price ours!

Interesting, how do the defenders of multimillard corporations make excuses this time? Inflation? Tariffs?

In the future, in the era of 150-dollar gaming, Grandfather Grandmans will tell their grandchildren about their beautiful youth when the games were only $ 80

The news looks especially funny against the background of the previous news, where, according to Microsoft reports, they have all indicators and show significant profits (except for the sale of the consoles themselves). But "poor" megarporation still needs more gold.

For a long time I haven’t taken anything according to the modern full prime, from the latter I can only remember REP REMAKE, ARMORED Core 6 and Zeldy, it’s a pity to give so much money for the rest. Either sales or Gampass, Fullprais today is too ill -fixed for a person who is paid by rubles. On the PSPRICES website I add to the game bookmarks, I see a good discount – I take.
