As Nintendo takes the first step toward selling full-priced, AAA games at $80 and Xbox starts to follow suit but backs off, EA has now also made its position clear: no $80 games...for now.
The ones by big publishers? No, they’re feature complete at best for the sake of the game loop but sell the rest in overpriced DLCs. The base game is the hook, that’s why Epic keeps giving some away for free or are sold at a heavy discount on Steam. You only need to scroll down to notice.
well DLC has always cost money on top of the base game so i’m not sure what your point is.
That the game is broken up into parts to charge more instead of, you know, making the game feature-rich in the first place.
do you not agree most games ARE feature rich in the first place? I mean compared to old $60 games.

The point is that AAA games already cost well above $80.
