    It’s surprising that games are getting cheaper compared to the cost of living. If you take into consideration the fact that games are becoming more expensive to produce, I really don’t understand it.

    Gaming is way cheaper for me than it was during the ps2 or ps3 era.

    Still, I don’t want games to become more and more ambitious and cost more and more. So, if I get GTA6, it’s gonna be at a reasonable price, maybe even second hand since I don’t need to directly support Rockstar.

      Less physical media, devices, real tangible products and assets. More online intangible products, assets. You can decide if it’s good or bad. I think it’s one thing that’ll change manufacturing and global resource issues long long term for the better less single use BS. But also it will if not regulated allow even more ultra wealthy individuals to multiply their wealth. Furthering the divide. First comes the shit end of the spectrum then eventually the good follows after the shit product era.

        Not to mention they sell way more copies of each game than they used to when sales were limited to physical copies.
