Yeah I definitely recognize that, but we're already at a point where AAA games are costing more to make than movies. GTAV cost $265 million - to put it in perspective, that would put it at the #7 most expensive film of all time if it was a movie. This kind of growth just flat out isn't sustainable with the kind of money games make at retail (hence all the efforts to bleed extra money through dlc, expansions, micro-transactions etc)

What I'm getting at is developers are going to have to slow their roll or they're going to be forced to by an actual gaming crash. There are other ways we could go, like games being bumped from $60 to like $90 or something, but I see those kinds of scenarios as much less likely.
