Heck even the Dollar Store here in the US will start selling stuff more than $1. . If you don’t like it, then don’t game or don’t do so at launch. Remember that videogames are a luxury expense, not a necessity like rent, food, medical, etc…

I have my views on it as do others and yes, i understand prices can go up but you're wrong when you claim they haven't risen since the PS3 era. They already rose during the PS4 gen and then they were raised again now to the $70 for this gen.

I personally don't agree with the new pricing methods because unlike the PS3 era, there's been a mass migration in games towards MTX to nickel and dime gamers to offsetany perceived need for price rises. If it was so necessary for prices to be higher, why is it over time they always lower down?
