The Era Of $70 Games Truly Begins This Fall - Kotaku

The year is wrapping up, and that means we’re nearing the busiest time for video game releases.

But it’s still worth noting, as many big games this year released at $60 or less, that a majority of the biggest games coming out this fall and into early next year will now cost more, even on older consoles.

While I understand that developing and publishing video games is a very expensive process, it’s hard to stomach these price increases when games seem to be filled more than ever with microtransactions and other ways to siphon away players’ dollars long after the initial purchase.
