>The game industry is facing a big problem, in Klima's estimation. Games are ridiculously expensive to make, a trend that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, as computing power continues to increase and gamers accordingly expect the complexity and scale of new games to match. But the new revenue streams needed to support those endeavours just aren't there: Audience growth has been more or less maxed out, and digital marketplaces are already providing maximal returns on units sold.>Rockstar and Take-Two are the only ones "who can afford, or who can dare, to increase the price of games, which I think is long overdue and also necessary for this business to survive," Klima said. "So I wish them all the luck."

these czechs are getting too cockywe should remind them why people think first of hardcore porn when you say czechia
>>748914762Remember when chuds sucked off this guy like their life depended on it for making a game that played like oblivion but somehow even uglier and more janky? Makes you think.
GTA6 is a cultural mass event game and is likely 'allowed' to go a little overboard with the asking price, even from the least avid consoomerif other devs try to do the same, they will suck it
The price of the average game on steam is going down YoY btw.
>>748914762>is ridiculously expensive to make>games from 10 years ago looks the same as games from this year>they also run betterlol lmao kek ayylmao skibidi ohio tung tung tung sahur
>>748914762To be fair $80 in 2026 is like $60 in 2020.
Games should be cheaper. It has never been more simple to make a video game. They can run well on mobile phones that everyone has so everyone has a platform on which to play video games.. Anyone can make a video game and the popularity of video has never been bigger.There is no good reason for video games to cost more.
>>748915310Yeah because more and more cheap low effort indie games get realized every year compared to games released at AAA prices.
>>748915370Specifically his game>recommend kCD1 to friend since its on ps+>"bro what the fuck is this shit AWWW HELL NAH"Mind you we have like 70 hours in The Forest so it had he's not a graphics fag
>>748914762lol funny cause they aren't getting money from a good number of people anymore
>>748914762just make less expensive games you stupid slav
>>748915517This is the top 50 games by revenue actually.Their prices have been trending down at about $5 every 5 years.
>>748915243Martin Klima? No
Anything but reduce their game budget. I suppose the endgame is fully animated, realistic muscle flexing gay sex simulation or something. Thats not gonna be cheap.
>>748914762as if we needed more reasons to hate these fags>>748915243this isn't vavra you dumb bitch
>ford and toyota hopes mercedes and lamborghini increasing their prices will also allow them to increase their prices
>>748915370Kcd2 looks a lot better than the first one
Why do they all keep saying this shit??? It makes no sense. It would be like fast food places saying they hope they can increase the prices of their food because high end restaurants are increasing the prices of their food. GTA6 is not other games. Only a small amount of games can get away with charging that price. Stuff like Zelda and Resident Evil and Call of Duty and Sports games.
Klíma je tak trochu kokotKlíma is a bit of a cunt
>>748914762Do these retards realize that, as the price goes up for games, gamers will get pickier and pickier with what games they buy at full price? Sure, GTA can get away with it, because it's fucking GTA, but who the hell is going to pay $80+ for fucking Kingdom Come: Deliverance, especially after the lukewarm reception of the sequel? I look forward to a whole new wave of game companies shutting down due to lack of revenue, as these delusional fuckwits truly deserve it.
>>748915636>Their prices have been trending down at about $5 every 5 years.That's seems like a lot of extrapolation for data which is only 2 years and seems to vary quite a bit. I don't doubt some cheap games are doing well especially since indie games can become huge and at the top of total revenue for a while. However with more cheap games getting released year by year then it makes sense to have more break out successes and to fill out the chart compared the few successful AAA games.
>>748915846it's funny because that food metaphor actually happened, and fast food sales began crashing out because of how they jacked up the price on their junkfood slop.
>>748914762AAA games have been 100 dollars for ages. You pay 100 for the full non-cucked "season pass" experience and 70 for cut down poorfag experience. Look up which editions of CoD and other AAA games sell the most it's usually the 100 dollar version, and this incentivized companies to cut content before launch to sell it later. The thing is, though, that very few games pass the sniff test and can get away with 100 or even a 70 dollar price tag. Ever notice how AA games actually got CHEAPER when 60 baseline price was no longer the norm? It's because not only do they now have to undercut AAA, they have to undercut each other. 50 is the new standard for "premium" AA games with any kind of pedigree or following, and games from new studios shoot for a lower price like 40 or 30.
>>748915681Have you seen the price for a GR86
>>748914762I kind of think too many faggots have access to gaming these days. If higher prices would help gatekeep them, that'd be nice.
>>748915636Does it include 'f2p' games?
Whoa, that's crazy op.Still not buying gta vi 6 or kcd 3 or whatever.
>>748917476It says "F2P excluded"
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST EXPECT US TO SCALE DOWN AND SHRINK OUR BUDGET>EVERYTHING MUST GO UP UP UP
>>748915243Different dude retard-kun.
>>748917161Shit, nigga. Even a Corolla at this point.
>>748914762>Warhorse hopes GTA6 will lead to higher game pricesI really hope their Amazon Rings of Power type game flops.
>>748914762I hope for this as well. I want the AAA game industry to burn to the ground and this will help it along nicely.
>>748920581WE
>>748914762That's cool man I hope you become a victim of grand theft auto soon
>>748914762Henry protect that Jew banker!
>>748921510WUZ
>>748921717DWARVES
>>748915636>Their prices have been trending down at about $5 every 5 years.Maybe because the bulk of them are the same few games and have been going on discount after release?
>>748921861N'
They don't even make their own engine unlike rockstar.They expect us to pay $100 for an asset swap of cry engine 3?
>>748922736Cry engine is worth itPlease buy Kingdom Cum Gayfagrance 3 at full price just so those damn turks can finally resume their work on Crysis 4
I have over 400 steam games and over 100 games on xbox. And I never pay over 15usd for a game. Rise prices as much as you want, I'd simply not buying them.
>BRO I CAN TOTALLY CHARGE THE SAME PRICE AS THE GAME THAT COST MORE THAN BURJ KHALIFA AND GET AWAY WITH IT *rubs hands together*What causes this type of delusion??
>>748924405Success of your previous game that spat on fans of original. They got away with that so now they sniff own farts its simple really and nothing suprising lol.
It will be the reverse. People will wake up and realise its a scam. Dogshit game theyve waited decade for and cost billions to make, mass suicides and total gamedev death .
>Kingdom Come Deliverance launched off of a $300,000 Kickstarter that ended up as a $5 million investment>it made $600,000,000 in revenueWhat kind of jerkoff looks at that and goes "Greedy gamers did not give me enough money"?
>>748924801Two jews who founded Warhorse studio lol.
>>748922243SHIEEEET
>>748914762He can eat my dick. I want AAA to burn. I'm not buying your $300 million dollar Wolverine slop by indians
>>748914762It's wild how many times some "trad" guy comes along, makes one game for the chuds and then does a 180 and becomes an enemy of gamers from then on. Someone should study this phenomenon and what makes it happen.
>>748914762>gamers accordingly expect the complexity and scale of new games to match.wrong god damn it
>>748927401see>>748925295They always play both hands
>>748914762They can raise the price to 100$. Ive never bought game for more than 20$ and i never will. I already have a backlog that will last me a lifetime. I can wait for a solid discount for one or two games that pique my interest every few years to add them to said backlog.
Probably will
>>748927668I don't think studios care about Indian market, saar.
>>748914762I co not care if video game prices go up because I'm not a day one consumer.
>>748914762Not gonna start renting games lmaoFuck that and fuck Rockstar and Sony
>>748930012Kek thisIs there anything more jeet coded than being a poorfag?
>>748915243Embarrassing post
>>748914762No, higher game prices won't fix the decaying industry, you'll only slash your sales by half thus you'll earn less money.I'm sick and tired of these shortsighted subhumans who think they're owed literally 100€ for a fucking game that in most cases the person buying it won't like and won't finish it, not even if they try to force themselves.But hey, I'm all in for the industry falling apart, so go for it, increase the prices even more, surely you'll sell trillions of copies....
>>748914762Games are unironically cheaper now than they were in the 90s. Counterpoint: games were better in the 90s
>>748927401Its actual grifting anon. Not meme definition like leftists calling grifter some anti woke eceleb niggers but these are actual grifters. Vavra was showing his jewishness and two face for many years as first thing he did after selling out to Embracer was getting a expensive sports car and gold ballsack(yes actual ballsack made of gold) worth over 200k euro lmao.https://x.com/DanielVavra/status/1881333472679354387If this aint one of most kosher shit youve ever seen then i dont know what is.
Why do conservatives love money so much?
>>748931459It's funny the very first reply by him in that tweet is accusing someone who doesn't like the game of being a grifter. What a tool.
Capcom games have been high price here in Europe for a while. Resident Evil Requiem was 80 Euro and so was Onimusha Way of the Sword. Pragmata was only 60 Euro though.
>>748931632Onimusha is 84 euro here. I will buy key from keysite at most. Capcom can tongue my anus.
>>748914762>games are expensive to make>no, you don't understand, we MUST have hand-modeled individual grass blades and a Hollywood actor on mocap and voice for every NPCHow about no, nigger?
How do these people have no ability to self reflect???? How do they not understand that just because people will pay 80 to 100 bucks for GTA it doesn't mean people will pay that for their random game? You have to be a mega turbo normie game to get away with it like GTA, FIFA, Madden, COD, Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Resident Evil and probably 2 or 3 other franchises.
