Video game cost is a problem that has been playing for years. At the time The world of Mario Card at $ 80. However, despite criticism for this movement, the former PlayStation chief believes it considers The titles’ cost must have grown with each generationAnd they are not ‘Because everyone is afraid “.
This was released through the comment by Chaon Liden, the former PlayStation chief, in the middle Gamesindustry.biz. In an interview, he addressed $ 80 at the price of the game and believed that he needed to increase consoles in each generation. However, in the last 20 years it remained the same, given that “No one wants to be the first one who has downloaded the price“.
“I think it’s because everyone is afraid. Nobody wants to be the first to raise the price, fearing to lose traffic. So what you make is to reduce your operating income, your profit.”
In addition, ExexEC political Sony believes that this should have been due to the increase in game production costs that increase with the course of each console generation. Actually this gives an example of how in the PS One’s generation “More sports cars in the parking lot in the PS1 era“As more money was earned earlier, because paying the title was less expensive.
It is important to note that although we are not so far from the fact that the level of video games is set at $ 80, we have seen some cases of headlines with this value, such as the above mentioned The world of Mario Cardwho laid a precedent in this field. Although this provoked negative comments among fans, it was not a fracture for other companies. Really, Some chose the opposite and, instead of downloading, they support their price of $ 70As this happens External Worlds 2.
Returning to Liden, ExexEC unfume knows that although the prices for basic games have not risen, they did so in their special editions and with micro -onsings. This was noted by the precedent in this field, and almost all developers joined the trend.
“They said, ‘Good thing she will happen when we save the price, and then we take over the last penny with DLC, micro -stronghum, combat passage, seasonal pass, as you want to call, and we strive to compensate for excess? “
It is worth noting that although Nintendo has taken the first step to charge $ 80 for the title, other companies do not go the same way. Such an EA case that guarantees that for your new excellent launch, The battlefield 6will support $ 70.
