$70 for the privilege of spending hundreds more on microtransactions.

I stopped buying new games a year ago. I refuse to pay more than $30 for a AAA game anymore.

This. It's not like developers are going to stop all their greedy DLC practices just because the price was raised $10, so this sucks.

I literally only buy new for the top tier of games. Everything is else is used.

That's why I did not pre-order the digital edition because digital sales almost never happen.

Gamefly sells new games for $44.99,which I suppose will now be $54.99.

Doom Eternal is like 30 bucks rn and it's barely been six months

Those $70 games will drop quickly, especially if it's on multiple platforms.

Can't say the same for those who want the digital version tho

If anything games should go down in price to no more than $50. Digital is now highly adopted meaning far less costs on physical materials, plus these companies are making hand over fist with microtransactions and DLC.

Yeah Ive been buying new for a while now, but I think $70 is a hard pill to swallow and past the point of eh, why not? for me

No bullshit, the new thing Xbox is doing where you can stream gamepass games on your phone with nothing but a controller is amazing. No console required. They even now sell different kinds of peripherals for it. One is a mount that attaches the phone to the controller, the other are these Nintendo switch like thingies you put on either end of the phone.

I tested it out the other day using a buddies Xbox controller since I'm a playstation guy, and I immediately ordered an Xbox controller and the mount thingy. It's honestly wonderful. Works on Android tv too. If your internet is good, it's a great alternative to buying a console. Still has some bugs to work out, but it's still in beta.

Or Phantasy Star IV on SEGA Genesis for $100.

I bought my retail copy of Phantasy Star II, years after it had been released, at a clearance sale for about $64.
