hell, the big releases were 79.99.  and i like to remind people that phantasy star 3 launched at 100 bucks.

no, No, NO! Stop making sense!

That’s not true across the board. Sure, sales of Call of Duty titles have consistently gone up, but Halo, for example, has never topped Halo 3's sales of 14 million copies*. Hell, no Halo game since 3 has even hit 10 million. That includes Reach and Master Chief Collection. Obviously, Infinite is a little harder to…

Agreed.. while I’m not happy to pay more, I’ve been paying $60 for 25+ years for games... everything else in my life has increased in price over the span of 2+ decades, including all other forms of entertainment.. so I don’t feel I can fairly complain about a roughly 15% price increase. Besides, game sales are so…

Ah, yes, to be an old and to be utterly impervious to the zeitgeist.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...fuck you, popular culture. I will consume you only on my terms. I was always destined to die uncool, but I will die with a full belly and a warm home while having supped (cheaply) at your teet for the better part of (hopefully) five…

I paid more than $60 for SNES games on release, and that was in 90s money. If you take inflation into account, game prices have dropped by half over the last 30 years.

Exactly.

Now, if we want to discuss the quality of some of these games at that price point, that’s a different matter. Same goes for DLC, in-game stores, ect...

I’m comparing it to cost of entertainment.  Using baldur’s gate as an example is moot because realistically they could have (and should have) received more per copy than they asked for.  A publisher/developer charging less is always welcome, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth more and would be unacceptable if they…

please don’t make too much sense and give in to gamer rage

Shadow the Hedgehog, the best character in the franchise

I’m stuck between deciding if I should be in a relationship with Yuri, Lilly, and Eva. This game is too damn addicting. Not sure I would go as far as calling it “Disney inspired” either.

Not only was going to the moon an incredible feat of science and engineering, it was also incredibly risky. Everything from takeoff(they strapped themselves to hundreds of thousands of gallons of kerosene and liquid oxygen), landing on the moon, taking off from the moon and rejoining with Columbia, and then reentry to…

There is a metric shit-ton of internet users that take anyone speaking matter-of-factly in a critical way as an attempt at objectivity, when that was never the intention of the speaker.

I mean, would you be happier if they just laid off that talent because they didn’t currently have something in the pipeline suitable for their specific talents? Dev cycles take time and move in stages. As Outrider mentioned most of their team was probably working on a GaaS game that got gassed, and anything else they…

oh hey, this guy/post is back. do you have an alert set up or something?

Now what did this millionaire do? 

The Internet was a mistake.

Streamers with “foods”, fuck off.

I can’t help but feel this is the dumbest story I’ve read about all week.

Well, it is Pinocchio after all... crickets aren’t that uncommon.
