Take it easy

Because, as you know, all black people know each other.

It’s hypocritical to hear Wakanda whine about colonisers and how they’re so good for Afric when they proved they could’ve swept aside the European scramble for Africa with about as much effort as cracking a fart...but didn’t.

Yes, it is definitely the music critics who are hurting the Jews.

How did AV Club and “America Hipster media” make Ye racist? A lot of artists get overhyped by a lot of media, but few of those artists are obviously racist.

So you conservatroll morons can scream your usual“a-ha see! Black people are racist too! So how come we can’t be racist/racist to them?” stupid tropes?

You seem like the kind of guy who has one black friend and asks that person to explain “black stuff” to you.

I’m more than happy to pay $70 per game if it means more content and less DLC/P2W microtransactions (hopefully).

Notice how I said “AAA gaming”?  That’s the important distinction.  We’re not talking about indie developers increasing the price of their games from 10 bucks to 20.  We’re talking about the companies that rake in hundreds of millions in profits increasing the price of their already over expensive games.  If you want…

I didn’t mean throughout the entire history of the gaming industry. But, around 2002 prices for video games settled around 60 dollars for a new release. Since then the gaming industry has done nothing but explode in popularity and turn into THE most profitable media based business.  The price hike is no different than…

It’s one or the other

To those mentioning higher prices in the 16 bit era and earlier, context is important:

Keep beating that dead horse buddy. This argument has been laid to waste time and time again. Video games never been more profitable. Higher price tags will not translate into less corner cutting or better working conditions for devs, only more money for the publishers.

Over the past decade, the rising popularity of deluxe and special deluxe editions have pretty much increased the price of games. On 360 and PS3, $60 would get you everything upfront. Now it’s the shell price, the starter price. If you want everything the game has to offer, you have to buy the…

“Unless you want games to start cutting more corners (like using recycled assets)“

You pay full price for games, so why do you even care what I pay for games?  Is there some rule that I have to pay full price for games in order to comment on the price of games?  Can you show me where that rules exists?  Do you even know?  Get the fuck outta here.

Uh, no.  I’ve bought one full price game in the last decade.  Wanna try that one again, without projecting your insecurities onto me?

The price has remained the same, but the profits AAA developers/publishers bring in has increased exponentially. FAR more than the cost of development has increased. The price hike is unnecessary.
