Charging 70 dollars USD for barely 40 USD of content and everyone knows. The only people I know intent on buying all the latest stuff are people into steamer culture, aka trying to be a streamer or interact with them and follow their trends.
This is completely relative, and different for everyone… But I have a hard time backing up statements like this given that it costs nearly $20 to go to the movie theater and watch a 90 minute movie. If I can get like 40-150 hours from a $70 game… That’s really not that bad in terms of value. In my opinion.
I think we have been a little bit spoiled (that isn’t to say that video game publishers aren’t greedy corporations that over charge to increase their profit margins, of course they do and fuck them for it).
its half assed, like a something switch console game of nintendo has been doing since 2020, which turned me away from the console altogether, i stuck to pc , but not high end games. my bro bought a brand new switch when they were selling new variations but he has barely played since.

Nope. All video games are bad, overpriced etc. same with movies as tv shows.
And we all have the right to the creative work of others. So pirate everything. That’ll fix it! /s
