Oblivion was The first AAA game to have microtransactions and now Oblivion Remastered could possibly be the last AAA game to be priced at $50-60 dollars.
with the Switch 2 being a success, we could see a rise in prices for all AAA Games. to 80-90 dollars
WHEN games do inevitably become 80-100 dollars, I’ll definitely be buying more Indie games
I stopped buying New AAA games since Stalker 2, and started seriously pirating everything New when AC shadows came out
Like, you dont give a fuck if my PC that I paid 1500€ for 3 Years ago can run your fucking slop reskin game which is a disgrace to the franchises origins without using AI to generate frames? Well fuck you then, Im gonna pirate every single one of your games, Seed the fuck out of them (like really, in the last 3 weeks alone ive seeded like 4 TBs) and then shove your profits up your ass so far you start vomiting your own shit
And that applies to indie Titles too.
You want me to pay 3$ for a card game I cant even play on my Opensuse system from 2001 bEcAuSe dRm? Fuck you, im Pirating that shit. Fuck you Balatro for being such a fucking good game and still for some reason not taking my money.
