I agree with anyone who said that the overpricing of games is one of the reasons for bad sales. Why on earth are they that price? Even today, the costs of game development does not justify a 60-70 dollar price tag (and lets not forget that in other areas in the world, like the middle east, new games are closer to 90 dollars). More than a decade ago, Peter Molynuex (developer of magic carpet, black and white among others) at the height of his fame said that games should really cost no more than 15-20 pounds. Factor in changing developing costs and lets say today 30 pounds.

@Khan_Krum Well said. I agree that it's time for someone to hold parents responsible for the welfare and actions of their children instead of blaming it on every other massive media hype. I've been a teacher for ten years and I've studied psychology, and I can say that the biggest cause I've observed for violence and hostility in children is their home environment and the parenting (or lack of it) that they receive.
