There was nothing hostile in what I said. Maybe you don’t like being proven wrog? I didn’t expect anything of you much less a hyperbolic research paper, but nonetheless you chose hyperbole and shuffled the goalposts instead of actually continuing the discussion. I never said when I bought the games, but convenient of you to arbitrarily decide how old a game is before it’s not worth it for you. Nonetheless they’re on sale by your own admission, so that blows your “rarely” out of the water while you ignore BF6 being repeatedly on sale. But I suppose you’ll make excuses about that too?
Comment on Why is gaming becoming so expensive? The answer is found in AI
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 hours agoYeah, and you are conveniently skipping over the most relevant part.
Lowest price history for cyberpunk 2077 is 20 bucks. 20 bucks for a 5 year old game is ridiculously overpriced.
Grand Theft Auto never goes under 15 dollars, which is over priced for how old the game is.
I personally wouldnt consider borderlands AAA games, but congratulations, you found the one game that had an actual legitimate sale and age related price drop with Elite: Dangerous, with the base games lowest sale price recorded as 2 bucks. WIth it currently on sale for 5. for a 11 year old game. Which is what the prices should be for an old game, and what all the other games should be doing once they are out of their content window.
Also, you don’t have to be so goddamn dismissive and hostile. I gave an example of my argument. Did you expect me to spend 3 weeks researching so i could produce a scientific paper detailing every game that is over priced?

will you both pull your heads out of your asses. both of you are correct. yes some stuff is on sale but it is also true that games are more expensive in general so even with sales… a more modern game will still be more expensive than a pre-2014 game (arbitrary year chosen). and RTA… you were pretty hostile so don’t deny that part. just because you personally think you aren’t hostile doesn’t mean that everyone agrees with you on that point. and while some games are consistently on sale… cherry picking a few games and saying “see game is on sale” doesn’t = not rare to see a sale. only about 60% of all games go on sale (and most of those are filled with micro transactions that make up the cost). there are less modern games receiving price reductions as they age but this is mostly corporate greed.

I wouldn’t consider the main Dragon Quest to be AAA, let alone the spin-off builders game…
