I’m with you. I feel like games could sanely cost $50-$80 brand new, depending scope, like you said. But I also think keeping those high prices for years is bullshit. It is greed. Honestly though in some cases they could probably make more money (particularly on steam) if they had cheaper prices over time. I waited a very long time to buy RDR2 because I just couldn’t stomach the new price. Took yeaaars to get to . I think $40 on sale. That’s some bullshit. If they dropped like $5 every 6 months they might make even more money and people like me wouldn’t have to wait so long.
Nintendo never dropping the price is the worst. If some of those games weren’t so good they’d obviously go out of business doing that. They found their niche and exploit it with greed galore. And then despite piracy being hard on their consoles out of the gate… They still ruin lives over it. Fuck that. Pick one Nintendo, never lower prices or prosecute hobbyists. Can’t have both unless you want people to hate you
