    1. The medium games came in were more expensive

    2. The gaming audience was much smaller

    3. Games were only sold in stores

    4. If you add all the season passes you’re paying the same or even more with further microtransactions

    5. Games in general now have a longer shelf life

    AAA games in my country have been 69,99€ since the PS3 launch and now they’re asking 79,99€. It’s true development costs have ballooned, but I just don’t think that’s a good price/time ratio and rarely do I buy games over 15€. I really don’t mind waiting a couple years.

      Bad price/time ratio? I don’t know many hobbies where you’ll spend that kind of money for 100h+ of enjoyment…
