minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 month agoThat’s sort of how it works though isn’t it? If games at $80 are too much then less people will buy, profits will drop and publishers will either lower prices, or vanish and get replaced by ones that lower prices.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-21 month agopretty sure AA and AAA studio execs can also organize and collectively agree on an $80 or higher price tag until it eventually sticks
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish14•1 month agoHere’s the thing, there are already vendors doing largely what. Indies generally: cost less release in a playable state take risks on new ideas don’t have microtransactions But people usually talk about big AAA games in these complaints. Buy indies and we’ll end up with more variety.
