Got it, so wait for it in humble bundle or buy it once it sinks to $5.
$80 I can wait.
I mean. Of course vidya games’ gonna get hit with inflation from time to time.. just like every other product..
every link in the chain, from producer to consumer needs to have an ever growing increase in profit for capitalism to work
It’s not worth $80 to me, and that’s also the way prices work. Things are worth what people are willing to pay. I’ve purchased so many games for $20 and less that have given me more enjoyment than any borderlands game.
And that’s completely fair as well, but there will be compromises.. because 100DKK is not worth the same 100DKK as for 10 years ago, so as time goes by - the games you’ll be able to buy for 100DKK, will have reduced effort equally to the reduction in value of your currency
ok whats your point besides outing as a shill
I don’t think I’m shilling for everything.. I’ve been sailing the seas for as long as I can remember… I just don’t understand why people keep getting surprised at games increasing in price - have you guys forgotten how capitalism works?
Like do you go to your local grocery store and see that cheese has yet again shrunk in size, and increased in price, and then think “this’ll never happen to my precious videogames”?
If so, then I guess I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news
just because its common doesnt mean its justified.
i see youre pirating ok. doesnt make your pro-opinion of increase due to "link from producer to customer" any more true..
the only blatant justification for n-letter company is exploitation. literally
I’m not justifying it anymore than justifying the increase in price of cheese.
But instead of spending your time being angry or annoyed at individual companies. Spend your time being angry with the system that requires the companies to have an ever increasing profit.
And stop being surprised by it, accept that this is a symptom of the capitalism, and if you want change.. well, then.. it will not happen by itself, and it will not start in the gaming industry.
That's a sensible way to buy all video games
With all the dlc.
But of course.
