Games should cost more than $60, they have not remotely kept up with inflation. The price was able to stay static so long because things could get cheaper with economies of scale as the industry grew, but it can’t do that forever. The price has to go up.
I‘m not interested in watching youtube vids and no, games dont need to get more expensive. This just imposes other limits.
The most important oversight „more cost!“ argumenters always make is that game companies (same as movie companies) produce a game once that can rake in profits forever.
Minecraft for example, the most played game ever, is 30 bucks. It’s a wonder that microsoft hasn’t made it 60 after buying the company and starting the enshittification of minecraft but maybe it is around the corner.
The point is, game companies are not people, they are companies. They don’t need out pity. If they make a good game, they make millions, real easy calculations. Some make games with shitty loot boxes, others without. They still both make money.
Just keep your pro corporation arguments to yourself.
