I agree

Those need to w significantly lower. No production cost of the packaging, disc and shipping is needed.
I agree, but you know why bruh. Nobody wants to piss off Wal-Mart and GameSpot. Well, actually M$ was ready to give no fucks, they got they own stores, but niggas bitched. So instead of Steam on a console we got PS+ version 2.0.
Anyway, this dude must didn't live through the 90s.

brown321;7091528 said:$60 for Some games is insane. I just bought Mario Kart 8 & it's worth it, but some games are too short to justify the price. FF III cost like $80 back in the day so prices are actually lower than ever.
Yeah, I remember Sonic 3 was like $80+.
PS1/N64 had the game prices as $39.99-$49.99. That's the cheapest I remember.
i dont think you guys are reading this article right, he's talking about to make a $60 game, you need to add a shit ton of fluff so that the consumer doesn't feel ripped off. How many times have you played a game and you've come up on parts where you realize you're just grinding and not really progressing even though the game makes it seem like you are. Then again I ride that PC master race train and haven't paid $60 on a day 1 release in years.

Nah the 32 bit era was when retail games were at their cheapest but even then N64 games were more expensive than average cause they stuck to cartridges.

$40 dollars sounds fair.
I understand what he is saying. I just can't see myself paying that much for a game unless its Batman or God of War. Everything else I just wait until it gets cheaper and cheaper. I look out for free games and sales on the PSN. Within a month I've gotten all the games I needed and didn't have to spend much on them.
I get that the devs and etc gotta get paid. I guess my reasoning is that since I've gotten older I don't game daily like I used to so purchasing a $60 game constantly isn't worth it because its gonna sit there.

That was 2005. They actually outsold madden that year which forced EA to buy the NFL license

I'm still laughing at the simple fact that xbox 360 just released saints row 3, hitman absolation(however you spell it) for free. Didn't these games drop not too long ago? lol!!!!!!!!!!!
We don't pay $60 over here in cali, we pay close to $65. Which is fucking retarded.

Bitch move...
Allowed EA Sports to become the most redundant NFL game maker, shit is joke, always takes them a couple of seasons to implement features from previous generations then they act like it's a new feature...
I don't support any EA Sports games anymore...
