They did for me, then my cost of living went up along with the cost of games. Now I'll only buy games that I intend to play multiplayer

    For me cost of living went up but cost of games down. I mostly play indie games now since i find big AAA games not that interesting with one maybe two exceptions per year.

    Depends on what games you play. I play lots of studio games and don't play a lot of indies. Now I just pirate. To paraphrase a wise man "this may or may not technically be legal... But 105aud for a new video game is a straight up crime"

    Yeah, it sucks. A major reason that I abandoned Nintendo's Switch 2, and returned to PC after playing in Switch for some years. I used to pay 30-50€ for AAA, but they wanted people to jump to 70-80€.

    Yeah, from what I've heard Nintendo earns their pricetag by making some of the best games you can buy. That being said they are essentially luxury products at this point and just because they've earned the pricetag, doesn't mean I can afford it.
