Not defending Dementia Donny and either way I’m not shelling out $80 for a game ever, just wondering if this is really a result of the tariffs. I understand the console price being high due to them but I don’t see how it would affect the price of games that are essentially going to be 100% digital

    Based on what little I know that goes into video game development, $80 seems cheap - assuming no mtx.

    But if it’s $80 + mtx? Fuck that.

      I’m 100% sure that the next Fifa EA FC will cost €80 AND will have micro transactions AND people will buy it in millions of copies anyway

      This is Nintendo, they make games cheap and sell for way more than it is worth. Also, with the massive increase in how Many people buy games these days, even $60 is more than enough to cover costs and have enough left over for the next game. The biggest “cost” in making games is paying the dozens of execs who do nothing all day billions of dollars.
