AH HA! I found the context of this message. 


Any ways, to comment on game prices:

They have soared far beyond the norm of what a video game should be priced at. In the past, a deluxe edition came with something grandiose and made it worth buying the deluxe edition of said game. For example: back when Call of Duty: Black Ops came out the Prestige Edition was valued at around $129.99 (plus taxes, reservation fees, and other miscellaneous fees), and it came with the original 4 Nazi Zombie maps, a steel cover art game case, a "medal of honor," an actual RC Car, the game itself, and if I'm not mistaken the season pass. All of that for about $135-$140. Probably closer to a $300 value, if marketed today. 

It pisses me off when you buy a video game at full AAA-title value and you get an Indie game at best *cough* No Man's Sky *cough* ...Excuse me..allergies are acting up, then there are games like ARK: Survival Evolved where they charger you half of the AAA cost ($30-$40) and you're getting an incredible title.

Game prices are fucking nuts nowadays and it really pisses me off.

IMO $60 for a game is a fair price for a new game, judging by the fact that the developers took their time to actually make it. Only problem I really have with that being the price is all the micro-transactions that you learn exist. Once you get into the game, you look and see an item or something with a price next to it, and you start to question if it's worth it; in the end, if you were to buy a good amount of DLC, you'd really end up paying the price of the game itself twice over.

To be fair 60$ for game isn't that much. Especially when you know that you are gonna play it for the next 1-2 months

If it s a decent game that will be playable for a few months I'm fine with paying that, but most get tedious after a couple of weeks or are full of bugs and can barely be played on release....
