Players are paying more money than ever in the current video game industry. Between Subscription services that increase in price, AAA games that can exceed the barrier of 80 euros and consoles that increase their cost More than once during the generation, the community is tired of these decisions in an industry whose companies are increasingly betting on digital. Although many players are disappointed, it is very possible that prices continue to rise.

Price increase is inevitable

We live in contradictory times, where inflation is real and significant, “he says (via insider gaming).

Everything in current video games is more advanced and technologically demanding than before, and therefore requires more resources. Each console manufacturer or manufacturer establishes the price of their games, of course, but in the end the heart of the matter lies in the production costs“Yoshida acknowledges.
