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

Acknowledging inflation while ignoring volume.

Acknowledging volume while ignoring development costs that are through the roof compared to 20 years ago

Acknowledging development costs while ignoring that they are literally making a profit at $60 priced games

How can you acknowledge the rising development costs for bigger and better looking games and not see how that isnt sustainable. They are making a (small) profit on 60 dollar games now, they cant keep doing that long term.

Dude they developed this game with the money from selling $60 games. The game IS developed. Whatever profit they're making right now was enough to develop this better looking game. Or do you think they will pay their developers after it sells?

So after it sells they don't need to make anything more and can close up shop?

No, of course not. And from this projection is where they adjust their future prices. But acting like this development is crippling them for not pricing the game at $80 is absurd when they made billions in profit while developing it and selling $60 games.

If they made it. Selling stuff at $60 AND made a profit, how is a 33% increase in what is JUST profit at this point, not greed?
