EA 'theoretically' interested in raising game prices for next gen

[Curls]

[QUOTE=Ishwoo;39738324]Indeed but i can see people buying a PS4 instead so they can spend 30$ on a used game instead of $70 whereas with an xbox they'll be forced to buy it at the full 70 because of the always online, no used game thing[/QUOTE]

Thats a rumor people are spreading just to piss Xbox users off. Microsoft never said [I]anything[/I] about that.

[QUOTE=koeniginator;39729270]I don't see a problem with increasing game prices if it's suitable for inflation/manufacturing costs

also games have always been pretty expensive

I don't care what infographic you post, I never payed that much for a video game. Either that was early to mid 90's only, or apparently I live in an alternate universe

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;39729317]It used to actually cost money to print games onto media, especially cartridges.

Now it's literally less than a nickel to make a dvd. Blurays aren't exactly that expensive either, and digital distribution is essentially scalable to whatever level you need on top of outright eliminating the shipping costs.

Inflation is one thing, but the net cost of distributing media has steadily fallen, and is approaching the point where it is a trivial cost to consider.[/QUOTE]

yeah that explains it, my first console used discs not cartridges (not counting gameboy color)

I'm scared of how long it'll take for the [b]MODURN MILITRY SHOOTER UNLOCK GRINDING HEALTH REGEN 2 GUNS[/b] trend to end.

I already find their games too little for too much, don't expect me to even look at them with a price increase.

Even $45 in the mid-90s is the equivalent (thanks to inflation) of over $70 today. This is just getting a little closer to how it used to be is all.
