From layoffs to the return of Gamergate, video games—and the people who make and play them—had a rough year.

The elephant in the room here is that hardly anyone has a disposable income to spend $90 on an AAA game title and potentially thousands in hardware on which to play it.

Shelter, food, healthcare and power costs have increased too much. When the basics can’t be met, people stop spending money on these additional things because it makes the difference between eating or not for a week.

I’m pretty stoked I was able to get Witcher 3 this year for under $8

I’ve been saying for a while that the best thing that can happen to standard, microtransaction-free, singleplayer video games is: An increase in the US Minimum Wage.

Sadly, that doesn’t help international markets as much. I really wish we could get rid of key resellers so that games sold somewhere like Africa can be fairly measured out in terms of loaves of bread, not US dollars.
