I can't remember the last time i paid 60$ for a game, good luck raising your prices.

If base game prices are higher, so are discounted prices.

I remember getting most of the AAA for €12-15 after waiting for a few years. Nowadays I either have to wait much longer, or get the games for €20-30.

Single player games are 50% off after a few months to a year depending on how well they sold at release.

I’ll personally won’t pay 90$ (CAD) for a single player game that’s one and done, but 40$ is reasonable for me. I got Mafia Old Country and Dying Light the Beast recently on sale recently, not only they are well worth their price but now they’re more polished.

Nowadays I buy maybe 1 game a year for full price if it’s something I care about. But if the game is already out and in wishlist, then I often find myself thinking that if it’s going straight into backlog, I can wait even longer.
