The statement was that they wouldn't raise prices due to backlash, so to avoid raising prices they added micro transactions. But then they raised prices as well And there was some backlash And now games are more expensive upfront and we also have micro transactions. And games still sell. My point is, prices only go up, any backlash will be temporary, and if they do it slow enough they'll keep enough of their base it won't matter. All the streaming services do the same thing. permalink fedilink source parent
