      It’s 70 and 80 tho?

      And as an old, even with this price increase games are cheap, especially with how much time you get out of them.

      I remember when Mario 3 was 50$ in 1990.

      That’s a 120$ today I think.

      Mario 3 was way easier to make.

        What a shit excuse of an argument.

        Nintendo has BILLIONS all these corpos have billions they can keep the $60 price tag.

        But they don’t cause they want MORE while still paying workers shit.

        Maybe YOUR paycheck has keep up with inflation but mine and millions of others sure as fuck hasn’t.

        Either way shits getting modded so I’ll play for free. The switch 1 is the final console for me.

      At least this game may be worth it if it’s $/h.
      Nintendos game might be <40hours long of pure campaign (excluding open world games like pokemon)

        That’s encouraging prices to sky rocket.

        Holy shit yall truly boot lick so hard.

        10000% GTA6 will be $100 if Rockstar reads any of these posts.

        Setting a bad precedent.

        Well, I will just stick to PC and Steam Deck even if I consider price/hour money.

        I don’t want that kind of pricing to be encouraging because if we’re paying per hour of campaign then Civ would be $6K and even something like Kingdom Come Deliverance would be $400

        I don’t have that kind of money.

          You can’t compare open end games like Minecraft and Civ with a mainly story based game like GTA.
          What you do after the campaign is your issue.
          I just say that it’s understandable if you compare it to traditional media.

          I will maybe buy it once it’s on sale.
          No way in hell will I buy it for full price lol.

          And the price creep will come because you and me are a very quiet minority in comparison to the casual games that buy a nee console solely to play the newest GTA or CoD.

            That’s why I didn’t pick Minecraft, Civ has a story mode and KCD is all about its story, just like GTA.

              Didnt even know Civ had a story. Only played Civ6 and didnt really bother looking to hard as I just expected a turn based strategy game.
