@Jacanuk: Not my video, it was the only one I could find that would back up my facts. I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but there is no proof whatsoever for your irrational statement.

Anyway, yes games should be more expensive. Employees are underpaid, and these gaming corporations just release cheap fast games that cost a specific amount to appeal to the masses.

I know that this may sound ridiculous, but I believe that video games should be more expensive. Before I get any blind hate, let me explain my reasoning....

  1. If video games were more expensive, AAA developers would be able to make more original games instead of recycling the same concept over and over.
  2. Higher prices for games would make it less likely for games to be released in pieces (DLC), have micro transactions, or P2W.
  3. More revenue would allow for bigger and better worlds.

Now, just take a moment to realize a few things:

  • Today, development costs are ridiculously high
  • The high development costs of games may cause developers to "play it safe" and use rehashed content that lacks originality.
  • When accounting for inflation, video games prices are nearly at an all-time low.

Here's an informative video to back up the previous statement.

So, anyway, what are your thoughts on whether or not game prices should increase? I happen to find a lot of the games being released this day in age feel kind of "stale", and perhaps maybe this is a sign that it's about time for game prices to increase.
