One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

Comrades, I think we found AG bondi.

Video games were way more expensive when I was a kid

They still are, for a kid.

Inflation this, inflation that, but the free money a person has has not increased. It has been going down for quite some time.

Also I'm pretty sure no one in the world is gonna look at a game and go „well if I buy this I'm gonna be homeless for 2 months, but if I plot an excel graph from 1990 to 2026 the price is down so I'll buy it”

Fucking ag bondi logic if you ask me

Also, micro transaction exist because the poor CEO wants his 23 million salary.

    I have kids and I have a huge library of games on Playstation and PC. What are they playing?

    Fortnite and Roblox instead, which they could play for free if they didn’t want to get cool skins. So, no, games aren’t as expensive for kids as they used to be, except if they waste a lot of money in predatory schemes in games where they could play for free and just 1-2 things to support the devs.

    "My kids are able to play someone else's games, so games aren't expensive for kids."
