EA CEO Says No $80 Games for Now: 'We're Not Looking to Make Any Changes at This Stage' - IGN
They're already charging way more than that when you count all the DLC.
Yeah, wasn't sims 4 with all dlc like 1 grand just a couple yeara ago?
Some of those were not even worth buying. All the Stuff packs seem like a scam.
I don’t understand looking at Sims 4 as an example. The game has had progressive additions for a long time; it’s basically a live service game, and now comes free.
It’s rare for anyone to feel they want all the DLC - usually it would just be a few things they want and have fun with.
The base price increase would still raise the total with DLC. Not including the DLC is still worth talking about, since there are plenty of ways to enjoy a game without it.
Ya like being a patient gamer haha.
I have such a backlog of stuff I wanna play that I just wishlist it and when the price feels right down the line I'll buy it for the backlog.
well DLC has always cost money on top of the base game so i’m not sure what your point is.
edit:
you're ignoring that if you buy all DLCs you get much more content compared to old $60 games. If you want to look at this fairly you need to come up with some way of quantifying the content involved which is not easy to do.
I do agree that some DLCs are clearly designed as money grabs (like most premium/gold launch editions). But i disagree with lumping all DLC into that category, especially bigger expansions that release a year or more later.
That the game is broken up into parts to charge more instead of, you know, making the game feature-rich in the first place.
The point is that AAA games already cost well above $80.
