Yeah but our wages should also be more
>>748968109Cool it with the antisemitism
Yes, absolutely. The aftermath will be hilarious.
It should be however now that they're all using AI the prices should drop significantly to no more than 5 dollars for a AAAA title
>>748968004
Straight up I've bought a lot less games this year than usual because i can't afford this shit. I'm sure GTA will do just fine but i don't know how much they can jack the prices and expect to not take a massive hit on sales >>748968109This
I grew up and no longer play video games so I don't care.
No, they should be shorter and cheaper
A single game should be $840 US dollars. Minimum.People should be forced to play the thing they bought and master absolutely only the game they can afford.
>>74896830550 dollars adjusted for inflation
>>748968327>grew out of video games>didn't grow out of the video game board
>>748968004all devs are about to be replaced with ai and you're still thinking games can survive as commercial products lmao
>>748968004Why? I thought AI is making making games easier and cheaper than ever?
>>748968358>jewflation
>>748968004games should be more expensive because wages should be higher, but because wages aren't higher and entertainment is extremely price elastic the price cannot reasonably increase
>>748968004I want it to be illegal to sell a game for less than $300
Sure, why not?
>>748968204This! so much this!gamer rage will envelope the world and we shall have 40$ games with 5090 graphics and government mandated loli girlfriends
>>748968518It's afraid. And it should be.
>>748968004I hope they do get more expensive browns and parasite neets need to be priced out of vidya
Games should be cheaper and developers should be forced to use lower budgets more wisely, that means no hiring expensive celebrities for voice acting and motion capture, no pointless consultancy fees, no hiring hr teams and community managers, etc. Put every dollar into the actual game.
>>748968870If you reduce the costs but also reduce the resources invested the quality doesn’t get any better it probably gets worse don’t go into business young retard
REMINDERGames are getting cheaper
>>748968109oy to the fukin' vey goyim
>>748969030they say its the most dishonest post of the year
>>748968963Studios are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to make mediocre games already, they need to be stopped.
No
>>748969114Data don’t lie brownboi. Your vibes are not reality
>>748969173Your strategy is literally why we have ai sloppa kill yourself. Who cares if someone else spends money
>>748968004>that would help a lot Not as much as a reasonable budget and realistic sales expectations. If you want to spend a half billion dollars on a video game, do it, but if it doesn't look like all that money is on screen when why the fuck should I care? A golden turd is still a turd, right?
>>748968963games suck more than ever while costing more than eversome of the best games ever made were made by 10 guys in a shitty office near starvation or bankruptcybut keep making concord and nuke the industry i can't fucking wait
I mean they can but I think they will see a fall in sales as some people will see it as unaffordable and other people will have spent more on other games so may not have the spare cash to take a chance on yours. You'll see a higher demand for high rated games and anything less than a 9 will suffer. The issue is that while it has absolutely become more expensive to develop, wages haven't tracked so for the layman, the hobby is slowly pricing them out.
>>748968109OY VEY THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDER PROFITS
>>748969030It just means there are more cheaper games, it doesn't mean a game of a set quality is getting cheaper. You are a fucking retard.
>>748969302Good poorfags and browns need to be expelled from my hobby
>>748968004No. In fact they should be cheaper since now the studios have access to AI tools that make development cheaper and faster.
NoPalworld is 30 bucks
>>748969415Well, you're definitely getting fired, but brownier browns will take your place like you always wanted.
>>748968004>if the biggest, most well known IP globally can sell at 100$, then we can raise prices too
>>748968004Maybe. But the industry should be cutting fat before increasing prices. Open world and live service slop needs to die. Pivot to projects smaller scopes and fewer overhead costs.
>>748969380It means the market will no longer support more expensive games. This is median cost for the top revenue making games.Devs see this and know they have to pull prices down, but are resistant.
>>748968109Game developer wages should decrease.
>>748968109This so much this. We need more inflation.
>>748968004I read this guy's whole statement and it was like the most jewish thing I've ever read in my life. That snippet in OP doesn't do it justice. This faggot sincerely believes the 3-billion dollar game costing more means a 10-million dollar game is also justified to cost $100. And he goes on and on about it. It's like the font name itself was TinyHat.
>>748968004>we will use ai slop to make our games as cheap as possible>we need to increase the prizesAmericans are literally just neo-jews
>>748968109
>>748968004Nope, games are too expensive. They probably would make more on a 40 buck price tag.That's what most ps5 games drop to within 2 months on amazon. That's why they don't want discs because they know games aren't worth more.
>>748968004>WarhorseAren't these guys total shitters?
>>748968358Now do spending power.
>>748968004They can increase it all they want, but a large majority of consumers are habitually inclined to wait for a major sale now and what's left still won't be able to cause their $300,000,000 flop with 10 years of development to break even. Why pay full price when in 6-10 months it'll have plummeted down to $20-$30 for the game and why would they expect that to change if they increase it to $100 base price?
>>748968004no, games should be less overdone>but we need a 2000 people to make this game>but the realistic graphics demands>but the hollywood actors in the gamedrop them
You can raise the cost of games if the amount of value goes up with it.If I were sold Cyberpunk 2077 as it launched for $90 then you need to stick it straight up your ass.
>>748969862Sales are huge, and the AAA of yesteryear (~10+ years old) are often dirt cheap if you need a fix. I don't pay full retail for anything outside of new indie releases from trusted teams (Silksong, Mewgenics, etc.).
$90 games will still have the same amount of microtransactions and season passes as $70 games.So what's the value proposition?
>>748968109Mods, ban this poster for flagrant antisemitism.
>>748968004it's fine, I only ever buy games on sale anyway.
>>748970069You will wait longer for the price to drop to purchase it and that might give them enough time to have the game fixed when you play.
>>748968004I think 300 dollarieugens is a sweet spot
>>748969695You're retarded and will never be anything more than poor no matter how much you suck corporate dick. Life will not get better for you.
>>748970038Yeah, nobody I know does. Even people with switches wait until the inevitable 10% - 20% off sale to get games a little cheaper. It's absolutely ludicrous that they think increasing base price will get them more profit.
>>748970387>things should be more expensive and people should get more moneyVery intelligent opinion.
niggas be arguing over $70 games and I never pay more than $20
>>748970561Not what was said. Thank you for confirming that you're an inferior. No woman will ever touch you. There is nothing for you.
>>748968327This but it's only new games.I play Minecraft religiously.
>>748968004If games came out 100% complete as physical discs you bought in big box stores, you could make an argument in favor of raising the price. But that's not how modern games work. Publishers are making a much larger cut per game sale because of digital storefronts, and they're selling DLC/microtransactions day 1, they're pumping out cheap remasters, etc. The business model has never been more lucrative. The only reason to raise the base price of games is greed. They are seeing what they can get away with.
>>748968004Why say this shit and make everyone hate your company lol
>>748969695There's already inflation retard, it's just that all the benefits of pumping money into the system are going to the ultra-wealthy and corporations, while workers get fucked with higher prices but stagnant wages.
>>748970813Workers should get fucked. Low iq underachievers deserve nothing
>>748968109send this economic terrorist straight to the penis explosion chamber
>>748968004No, they have decades of good games to compete withI just bought what I consider to be a CIB copy of Dragon Warrior 1 for $13. Calculating inflation this would be the equivalent of like $4.50 35 years ago, for a physical game that doesn't need updates or patches and can be resold easily
>>748968109How will Gabe feed his family??
>>748972019You mean the guy whose company is known for well above industry average wages?
When I was growing up one new game cost like 1/3 of a monthly salary. Now it costs like 1/25 and games in europe are still more expensive that in America despite Americans having larger salaries. A 70 usd game costs 79 usd in Europe.Despite this it's the Americans that are screeching how they can't afford games while being the richest and the most pampered nation in the world.>nooo, I really can't afford to pay 70 usd for a game, but I have no problem watching a shitty marvel movie in cinema for 30 usd, ordering food every day or drive a shitty truck that consumes 20 liters of gas per 100km even though I don't really need a truck for anything.And then they show you they have hundreds of games in their steam accounts and finished maybe like 1/10 of them.If you can afford a game for 70 usd that you don't even bother to finish you can afford an 80 usd games as well.
>>748969695There already is huge cost inflation but the wages haven't risen along with it. Inflation is only a problem when costs outspeed wages.
These retards really want to all die dont they?
>>748972019He's not eating for five anymore so they can have those extra portions.
