I find it odd that people think games can just cost $60 forever, this is what we paid in the 90s for games, like at some point they were bound to raise with inflation. Did people expect to still be paying $60 in 2045 too?
It’s a miracle 60$ was the price for as long as it was, he’s not supporting this, he’s just acknowledging basic inflation. Games are expensive af to make
So you keep costs low for a higher volume, then each game is a gamble. Following Nintendo ads so much dlc that essentially becomes call of duty. Ergo $60 with a bimonthly $30 battle pass. From a corpo perspective this could make more, but from a dev? Nah man that's hell, Nintendo makes games and not services primarily.

I don’t have a problem with a higher price, although 80 bucks is quite a bit. I have a problem with salaries not going up as well.
