Speaking of 2K..the first one i bought..used of course

There is no justification. This is greed and that's it. It's no more expensive to produce games now than it was for the PS4 and Xbox One. Besides a game like 2K where they rehash the same game year after year is cheap to produce. And don't even get me started on the micro-transactions they charge people.

I'm curious though because I see a lot of talk from gamers justifying it. One would think they'd be the first to carry pitchforks over news like this but they've been a lot more accepting than I thought

Contrary to popular belief, gamers take a lot of shyt and do a lot of empty wolfing. They accept micro-transactions, half baked games, buggy games, and all other kinds of bullshyt just like the average person.

People love bringing up inflation for one thing (prices for games) but not other things (stagnant wages). Games are no more expensive now than they were 6 years ago. Revenue and profits are higher than ever for these companies. You got a few games with massive budgets (which recuperate their cost hand over fist) and suddenly every game needs to be overpriced.

A game like NBA 2K21 does not need to go up on price. It’s the same shyt each year with minor updates to gameplay and the roster. Guarantee we get the same shytty gameplay we’ve been getting for the past 6 years in the ps5 and Series X version.

Like ps4 I won't be copping any of the GTA5 Red dead, Spiderman type games until about 2 years later with some nice 40 bucks or lower sales. God of war was the only current gen game I bought for full price.

I can't believe posters in this very thread was defending this bullshyt and watch the game still be BROKEN AT LAUNCH... $70 for a still incomplete game...

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Watch this game sell by the bucket load.

Wow. I haven't heard that name in decades.

that's why you never open the door for nickel and diming because everyone will join in

- paying for online
- DLC
- microtransactions

GTA Online is PRINTING MONEY for Take 2. shyt is and at the same damn time.

I was telling my friends back in high-school who had an Xbox 360 charging for online is going to lead to the industry nickel and diming us going forward and now look it was the first domino to fall.
