How are you going to handle all new games coming out at $70? Will you buy less games? Wait for sales? Or just pirate?

The only game I'm interested in is halo and I won't even have to buy it thanks to game pass

who the hell buys games full price?

I haven't bought a AAA game in years anyway.

I do. Since I've stolen thousands upon thousands through piracy.

This. I buy most games on PC for $10 a pop lmao
Will only affect console exclusives which I buy like 2 a year of max

I haven't paid $60 for a game in forever.

>wait 3 years after release
>buy it second hand

I mean it's practically tradition for me at this point. I waited the entire generation for there to be atleast 10 games to justify buying one of the current gen consoles. To no ones surprise, you can count the games you'd play on a single hand.

I haven't paid full price for a game

The only AAA game i've bought at full price in the last 5 years was RDR2.
I might get Halo at launch, and will get THPS, but thats only like 40

Means I wont be playing alot of games I ultimately had no interest in. Suppose I can thank them for making it so I dont waste money. Also
>buying a game full price on launch
Unless its a multiplayer game you shouldnt do that.

this
the absolute most I've ever spent on a video game is 35 Merkelbucks

>cod games now have a practically unbreakable DRM on pc (always online bullshit)
>live in yuropoor country

i feel bad for the random kids that will grow up watching shitty movies and playing dogshit games

I rarely pay full price for any game, let alone a AAA game.

>WE HAVE TO START CHARGING MORE BECAUSE GAMES ARE EXPENSIVE TO MAKE
>ALSO WE WANT TO MAKE GAMES SHORTER BECAUSE THEY'RE EXPENSIVE TO MAKE
Why not just make better games in lower resolution/higher framerate? We just want fun games.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THINK OF OUR PROFITS AND SHAREHOLDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a true patrician I only preorder the $90-100 ultimate editions, so this doesn’t affect me at all. They only raised the price on the poorfag cross gen tier and quite frankly the fewer poors who can afford to buy and subsequently shit up my games the better.

fuck devs, and fuck publishers.
videogames should never had get budgets as big as movies have.
last good games are from circa 2007

Games have always been $70 new. If you can't afford em don't buy em, or just do what everyone else does and wait a couple months to get them on sale.

Is gamepass worth it for PC? That might be a solution. So far all I’ve seen is people praise the first month for $1 but not the subsequent cost

I stopped paying for games like 5 years ago.

>price increase during a pandemic

Making a copy doesn't steal the original

the xbox gamepass is pretty good though i dont think you can do crossplay with steam. i'd say worth and just unsub if you play everything you wanted to

>Wait for sales?
This and gamepass

new games aren't worth pirating

I'll wait six months to a year for it to get marked down. By then it'll finally be in a playable state.

literally the only full price game I could see myself buying is Disgaea 6 when it comes out. Outside of that it's steam games 90% off all the way (or just pirate, though if I like a game that I pirate I'll usually buy it the next time it's on sale)

Maybe I will pirate, depends on the AAA company.
I'll likely wait 2 years to buy it for 15$ since I have a huge backlog.

Price doesn't bother me because video games are already too fucking long and I don't have time for most of them. The extra cost is just inflationary to me.

I only pirate or wait for sales. This only affects consoomers.

LOL, you saw how Halo was received, right? Became a meme.

>when in my country will go from 69,99 euros to 79,99 euros for a base game
Kek. Fuck this industry

I do very rarely, maybe once a year or 2 years, depends. But for the past 15 years the majority have been on sale

>buying games at full price
>when they already gut half of the game and resell it as dlc on release day
