Topic	I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't care about $70 games.

Most AAA games are built upon the infrastructure of games made years prior. Most of the money in game dev goes to advertising. Like COD for instance has a 4x marketing budget over their dev costs. Thats fucking ridiculous. This additional $10 isn't going to mean we're getting better games, it just means that the fat cats in suits will pocket more money. When you tack on DLC and microtransactions gaming hasn't been more expensive than it is now. Idk I think it's a wrong move to embrace or encourage increased pricing of games when there is no benefit to the consumer. --- http://i.imgur.com/x04tPRZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/t7T392I.jpg <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:971415972] in I feel lik...
