MODERATORS
I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I kinda agree.
I paid $60 for games back when a bottle of coke in a vending machine was 25 cents. Now I regularly see sodas in vending machines at $1.50 but games are still $60? Don't get me wrong I'm grateful, but when you have a 0% price increase over a period of time where inflation increases by 150%+ everywhere else, it's hardly surprising the companies are looking for new ways to monetize.
Maybe not the best comparison considering in the past couple years inflation on food has been artificially inflated due to corporate greed.
I wouldn't mind paying slightly more for games if the money was actually going into developers pockets.
All that being said though, unless it's a very specific title, I've been waiting for sales for the past decade. I only buy a game or two for full price a year (usually Nintendo because they rarely do sales)
