Not defending Dementia Donny and either way I’m not shelling out $80 for a game ever, just wondering if this is really a result of the tariffs. I understand the console price being high due to them but I don’t see how it would affect the price of games that are essentially going to be 100% digital

    True, sure. I’m just saying the overall price of games has gone down significantly over time. An upward correction makes some sense. I’m not cheering it on, just trying to help frame the circumstances.

      Competition for entertainment is higher than ever. You even have extremely good free games

      An upward increase makes sense only because corporations will try to squeeze every possible cent from consumer. That’s the only justification that they need

        They will only change if they start losing a lot of money. With any luck we are starting to see that a bit from some of the big publishers.
