The controversial boss of Embracer Group has discussed the topic of increasing the price of video games beyond $70 amid rising development costs and an increasingly competitive market.
That’s a significant portion of the cost of a brand new console! That’s two weeks worth of electricity for my house! That’s 6 months worth of my mobile phone service! Jesus wept.
I’m not paying more than £40 for a video game, and at that price it had better be a GREAT game.
I mostly wait until they’re in the £20-30 range anyway, even if that means waiting for sales. I’m not in a rush, I’ve got plenty of other games I can play in the mean time after all.
Not OP, but also from the UK. I pay £8 per month for 5 gigs of internet traffic and unlimited everything else. Last month I used less than 1 gig… I can probably switch to a £6 tariff with just 2 gigs, but I use closer to 5 from time to time and don’t want to switch back and forth all the time. For £25 I can get unlimited traffic.
Beyond £55? They cost £55 now?!
