Video games cost more. That’s bad. It’s always bad. Don’t pay more for games. That’s bad.
Today I explain why the reasons publishers have given for this change aren’t particularly believable.

Or just wait a few years till the tech is more affordable and the game is either 20$ or less. I did that with Metro Exodus and still doing it with other games. Luckily AAA devs don't decide where the money in my wallet goes, I do. Besides there are other hobbies one can pick up. Reading, cars, bikes, paintball, airsoft, robotics, etc etc.

Every publisher now wants every consumer to spend eight hours per day playing a game they sold them for $70, and spend thousands more on microtransactions while they do it. The problem is there's only so much time in a day and consumers only have so much money. If every company keeps doing this, they will find that only a handful of games can maintain sustainable dedicated followings like that simply because there will be too many games competing for dominance in a limited pool of consumer man hours. If you're playing Call of Duty all day, you're not playing Battlefield, and if you're playing Fortnite all day, you're not playing Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. But every game wants to be the next big thing, and they're all doomed to take an ever smaller slice of the pie as the market becomes increasingly saturated. And it gets worse because these publishers' shareholders expect constant growth; a growth which they can't possibly maintain forever. Once the growth reaches a plateau, investors will start selling off their shares and these companies will start to _lose_ money, and then they won't be able to keep churning out these games.

Haha yeah big games are kinda shit imo. I got my first console upgrade when I got halo 3. 3 odst and reach were both incredible too. I then also really started enjoying the Forza series too. Halo 4 killed the chances of me getting an Xbox One and then I built my first PC. Pc gaming is just more flexible. You are less likely to see these half assed $60/70 games and more likely that you'll find a game that you can see grow for a fraction of the price. A few games thst I've picked up early access thst sum up to less than $60 include : $15 Kerbal Space Program, $15 minecraft, $15 beam NG drive, $15 wreakfest. And I think I paid even less for most of those games. Not to mention you also get access to modding so thst just widens the gap. I find in far more interesting to see a game grow properly and I'm a lot more likely to purchase the next game that these developers make as they have built my trust with them.

That's the advantage of being a patient gamer, I buy my games a few years after they were released at a heavy discount and with all necessary patches plus interesting mods if I want to. The only downsides are having to avoid spoilers and if the game focuses heavily on multi-player most of the player base has already moved on and those that remain tend to be the ones who are insanely good at it, so there's that.

Fucking EA. God they're awful. You know the Sims games? Well Sims 4 has been constantly critiqued for how garbage and empty it was from the start and how you basically need mods to make it playable let alone fun. Creation is super busted, and storytelling is near impossible. Only good thing is the graphics (and as a mac user, that the mac version is truly ported to work on mac and not a shitty emulator like the otherwise super good 3 was). Currently, if you buy all of the game, the deluxe version of the base game and all the expansion, game, and stuff packs, and the newly minted kits, all at retail price when they came out, no sales or bundles, it costs 899.58$. It's absolutely nuts. Each pack has very little in it, and even after years we still haven't gotten everything that was in 3, and most of it is so badly done. Like the Star Wars expansion, most people didn't want it, some thought it'd be interesting to have Jedi's and use the force, sorta like how other past supernatural types worked, but it was literally just an advertisement for star Wars Land at Disneyland/DisneyWorld. Literally an exact copy. Impressive in the detailing, but that's all it was. The clothes for the world are literally the costumes cast members wear. And no fun jedi powers, it was just a vacation area with very little to actually do, and nothing that interacted with the rest of the game. They really made people pay 20$ for an ad. Fuck EA. There's a reason I haven't spent a single penny on this game, and actively help with getting the Windows crack to work for Mac. They treat the people at Maxis like shit, don't let them actually be creative and put out fully developed packs with a lot in them, stopped making the game compatible for machines running only 32 bit and only have updates for 64 bit (making the money people with older computers basically wasted) reference common mods in game descriptions showing they know how much those mods are needed to make it playable, and expect 900$ from me? Fuck no. There are good artists on the team, some of the "gurus" are really creative and knowledgeable, some of the stuff is really pretty. But there is maybe 200$ tops worth of game so far, not 900$. If you want to see the proof I'm not exaggerating, and the lengths procrastination and morbid curiosity will go to, here's my numbers: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aqr6vLX066lm7EAnxGWnMWlud5a1zOjn5lZXS6Kt7Fg/edit?usp=sharing

Movies are also a weird market. They get most of their money from what is essentially a one use rental (box office), followed by licencing from streaming services.

yes and no. while movies are about as expensive as modern games, games do still sell less than movies. despite what many belive, gaming isnt as mainstream now as other mediums like music or movies and there is a significant age cut at which people just dont buy games anymore as well as a huge margin of young people that have never bought a 60$ game or played many games exept maybe some mobile ones or as a kid on a handheld. I entierly agree with the video and that the price increase is just bad but i can not see a world where you can play a new AAA Game for 20$. The sales for that are just not high enough. (Also movies make alot of money by reditributing the same product diffrently: movies make money from box office sales, Blu Ray/DVD sales, by licencing it to Netfix and so on and by licensing it to potentially a few hundrered tv stations around the world. So oftentimes they kind of sell the same product to the same customer twice or even thrice

I remember paying $70 for N64 games back in the day, and I think another reason why prices could be going up is because physical media production of stuff like Blu-Ray is in decline. This could be a subtle way of pushing people into using more online subscriptions and calling for digital-only. I see this as an excuse to get people to demand cheaper games, and they'll kill physical media, lower their prices and say, "Sorry, people wanted cheaper games." I think everyone is being played... they know people will complain about the price hike, and they'll use that as the excuse to go digital only and push subscription services saying that was the only way to do it cheaper.

@@yunivor3146 Because they practically have a monopoly, on digital distribution for pc, especially for indie devs, you have no choice but to follow whatever rules they put on their platform. Additionally, this means that they get a pretty significant cut of the sales, when it requires little work for them at this point. Maybe not evil, but not very good.

9:15 I spoted an error: the assumption that every sell of a game is "pure profit". Platforms like Steam or the digital store of the consoles charge 30% for every sell, the government charges like 35% of the remaining, so the company would take only 45% of the price paid by the customer. For physical copies, the retail stores also charge their own fee, and there is also the transportation cost.
