Videogames should go with inflation and get more expensive instead of trying to cramp in in-game purchases and deluxe editions and whatever.
I don't want to own a "license" to a Game, I want to own the Game
Turning off Servers for goods you bought without offering a replacement should be illegal.
If video games went with inflation then videogame companies would likely be bankrupt, at 120 (euro, dollar, gbp) each they'd be way more of a niche product than at 60. Besides sales volume has more than surpased inflation. The whole licensing thing has nothing to do with prices its just pure anti-consumerism.
wasn't meant like that. It just fell into the same Category of "ranting about Video Games" so I also packed it in there.
What would actually happen is games would become more expensive with inflation AND you'd still get the micro transactions
Isn’t this exactly what GOG is all about?
yes, and I try to buy my games on GOG, but even years after release some Games still aren't on GOG (Kena bridge of spirit comes to mind)
