Inflation rises, but wages do not. We'll pay more when we have the money, and the workers are paid fairly.

i love how inflation is just always magically a reason for companies to charge arbitrarily large sums for their products, how the hell do you people think people are supposed to afford things?

seriously, if everything just constantly increases in cost, how precisely do you envision the economy functioning?

And 4k TV gets cheaper. What’s your point?

Why do publishers increase the price of games, though? It's not like the price of the rare components to make games increased.

I agree with you but it's so hard to talk about. Most major publishers are leeches who artificially drive up price and force developers to release unfinished games....yet at the same time, the cost of development has gone up. Indie games are proof that you don't NEED fancy graphics with mocapped actors to make a good game but it's irrelevant when there's bigger demand for "cinematic experience" and that stuff ain't cheap.

But because I used to pay $30 for a game in the 90s, I think games should be $30 forever.
