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.
