I would literaly pay 69,99$ or 79...

But that isn't profitable for stock investors or the game companies they want all the money not just some of it to put it simply you paying up a big chunk for everything you want is something they don't want they want you to make small purchases that will end up biting you in the ass because it's way bigger in the end
gaming is now like phone games outside of japanese games(not including gacha) and indies

>I would literaly pay 69,99$ or 79,99$ for Video Games if it mean't we will never see Loot Boxes or Microtransactions ever again.
Well let's do the math
>5 M people buying a $80 game - 400 M revenue
>add in 1 million tards ordering the special pre-order edition/season pass/etc for an extra $100 - additional 100 M revenue
>500 M revenue, and most of it comes in only within the first year

or:
>5 M people buy a $60 game - $300 M revenue from game sales
>add in 1 M tards getting special pre-order/season pass - $100 M
>2 M never buy any microtransactions
>2 M buy $50 of microtransactions per year - additional $100 M revenue every year
>1 M are autistic retards and children who buy $200 microtransactions per year - $200 M revenue per year
>$400 M revenue just from game sales
>$200 M revenue every single year from in-game transactions that continue for at least 4-5 years
>after 5 years, the game will have made $1.4 Billion

it's pretty obvious which business model is more attractive. Video games are an investment for the publisher, they want to maximize their returns. As long as dumbasses exist who keep pumping their money into it, this is what will be out there.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me

Video Game Companies literally said the reason why we have loot boxes is because games only cost 60 bucks

And that is a blatant lie by faggots who want to normalize Gambling in gaming.

why would you pay tens of thousands of dollars for a single game?

And you'd have to be a colossal retard to believe that. Are you a colossal retard, user?

no one in their right mind would but a person who being tricked and poked towards that direction and cannot resist will spend easily 50-70 thosand dollars on a game so any children or adults who have gambling issues

it disturbs me that people think that these things will go away just because the game price goes up by 10$

why not just pay $60 and buy sony exclusives

That's their current excuse.
However, do you honestly expect that they would end the microtransactions if the games were more expensive? they still want to wring every possible cent out of their users.

so play just generic third person Cinematic games... no thank you i'd rather go back to indies or nintendo.

Remember that the price is what you'll pay, not what it costs.

Nintendo is microtrans central now what u smoking

Fpbp

i'd rather get raped in the wallet and have fun than play Garbage that only actual delusional retards would accept.

>I would literaly pay 69,99$ or 79,99$ for Video Games if it mean't I'd never have to get a system pushed on me that didn't need to be pushed on me in the first place, and exists solely to extort more money out of players with unhealthy addictions.
Keep licking them boots, user.

The fact that free to play games can turn a profit proves this to be a complete lie. A fucking $0 game still generates enough money to be massively profitable.

why make billions when you can make millions?
t. every publisher ever

Eh? You talking about their mobile games? The console games dont have any, and didnt they just say they were going to back off from mobile anyway?

First post is best post.
It's a law of economics that any rational individual is always going to prefer more wealth over less wealth. Anyone who believes it's one or the other is either delusional or doesn't understand economics.

it's the only rational choice
why make just some money when you can make more money

at some point i'd expect devs to charge a dollar per hour and a game already Did that and it got shitted on but it's still bound to happen again and at some point people will accept it

>The console games dont have any
Would you really come on the internet and lie?

stay cucked

Nintendo has been releasing first party games with microtransactions since the 3DS.
