I’m already not buying $70 games, I’m not gonna buy them at $80 or $90 either.

Interestingly other publications have an additional quote

“Just as the recession doesn’t stop people from going to the cinema or going to their favourite artist’s concert, high-quality games will continue to sell well,” he said.

Kind of embarrassing to have a company president who doesn’t understand the Econ 101 concept of normal goods.

Give us less and charge us more, that’s the big gaming company MO

I wouldn’t even mind if I was given less and charged more if the fucking industry didn’t push devs to suicidality every time the execs overpromise on release targets.

@lemmy.world While their costs have increased dramatically, wages have overall not kept up. Food or game, people will pick food. As a side pet peeve, how about more companies actually release a non broken day 1 game that doesn’t need a zillion patches to be playable first?

I’m even okay with it being a little broken (very little) as long as everything in the game is included in the price and I don’t have to microtransaction my way to a full game.
