Even when Stadia imploded, those ppl still got a refund. The "mu games will vanish" argument is entirely speculative. Thirdly, show me the store where you buy physical PC games. Secondly, DRM has been proven, repeatedly mind you, to not affect performance in any meaningful way with the exception of a very, VERY small pool of games. Considering the amount of games you own and don't play OP, you obviously don't have THAT much trouble wasting money.ĪT least I still HAVE my SNES games in physical copy, these days you pay 80 bucks for a game that may or may not have DRM and might dissapear completely one day to save bandwith.įor starters, you just inflated the price by $10 to make yourself sound more entitled to your outrage. On top of this, whether or not it winds up being a hit game is also a completely different story. Now, regional pricing is another matter, and if you're getting gouged then I can see the argument. You kids crack me up with this seeing as you apparently don't know what SNES, especially Square games, cost at release.

They are made by companies that need to turn a profit or else their board of directors will fire whoever was in charge of the game and put someone else in that will turn out another copy and paste guaranteed payout of game. These games are made by human beings somewhere that need to eat, pay their rent, take care of their families, buy gas. Everything is going up in price quite quickly these days.

It is how I became a land lord and how I first got my savings account into the 6 digit range. It is how I managed to buy my first condo.

Everyone else drops 50 or 60 bucks for a few hours of fun. Us gamers, nerds if you like, can buy a 50 or 60 dollar video game and be good for a month! Months even in some cases. Attractive women might be able to, but that's an entirely different discussion. I did way less of all that, but you also can't go out on the town for a night and not drop 50 bucks on the low side.
