    If you really want me to pay $100 for a game, you gotta raise the bar to the fuckin stratosphere compared to what we’re getting now.

    And get me a damn raise.

      And also knock it off with the fucking microtransactions and shit. I wouldn’t mind games costing something appropriate for inflation if we were getting complete, high quality games without the expectation that we spend even more money afterwards. As it stands, they’re complaining about the low cost of games while also milking players for every penny they can on top of the purchase price. Fuck these guys.

        Yea. I refuse to buy any game that tries to sell me microtransactions, battlepasses or really anything these days. If the sticker price does not cover the full experience, it’s just not worth the hassle.

        Sorry, best we can do is microtransactions, fear of missing out and AI slop. That’ll be $90.

        Precisely this. If Baldur’s Gate 3 was 100$, I still would have bought it in a heartbeat because I know that the developers are never gonna ask for any more of my money.

      I would say gta is one of the only few games I would pay that much for and I know I’ll get my moneys worth, but I’m not interested in gta online. I wish we could get story dlc like we did with gta 4
