Oblivion was The first AAA game to have microtransactions and now Oblivion Remastered could possibly be the last AAA game to be priced at $50-60 dollars.

with the Switch 2 being a success, we could see a rise in prices for all AAA Games. to 80-90 dollars

WHEN games do inevitably become 80-100 dollars, I'll definitely be buying more Indie games

I'm always like, if people stopped paying that price they'd stop selling at that price. Like imagine if a new Assassin's Duty launches at $100 and sells like thirty copies. It'd be big news.

But people don't work like that. And if they did, we'd probably just see more "the game is $40 but half the content is in $60 of dlc"
