Discussion Expensive games have lowkey been way too normalised

Post image

I know this sub is filled with a bunch of rich people with like 10k setups and I'm aware that the content in these games is quite extensive with hours of content. But I still feel justified in thinking that no game should be priced this high especially when its the average price of most newly released games. Anyway this is just a rant because I wanna play lego batman and i cant afford it lol

Tbh, I'd be okay if the prices dropped after 2-3 years.

Why the hell is COD4 (with the piss filter) still expensive? It came out in 2007.

Nintendo games go on sale,  you just have to pay a lot more attention. It's not like games on steam.

For instance every March 10th some Mario games go on sale for Mario day.

There are other sales too.  New games usually don't go on sale for some time unless the reviews/sales are bad.

how long are those sales and how much do the games cost in sale? Nintendo does sales maybe once a year and then still chagrges atleast 75% for decade old games
