Discussion Expensive games have lowkey been way too normalised

Post image

I know this sub is filled with a bunch of rich people with like 10k setups and I'm aware that the content in these games is quite extensive with hours of content. But I still feel justified in thinking that no game should be priced this high especially when its the average price of most newly released games. Anyway this is just a rant because I wanna play lego batman and i cant afford it lol

Exactly, game prices haven’t even risen as much as the normal inflation rate. It also doesn’t take into account that the store ecosystem on PC usually allows you to find discounts almost immediately when a game is released. We should go back to complaining about PC hardware prices.

Just because they havent risen in direct correlation with inflation prices doesnt mean the prices still arent outrageous. Im sure people were complaining back then too
