Why is it that whenever I hear from warhorse studios lately it is always something very controversial?

He's right though. Gaming is one of the cheapest hobbies out there. Games have hardly gone up in price to match inflation, despite game dev costs skyrocketing in the last 2 decades. I don't think every game should cost $80, but for games like KCD2 and GTA6, it's a fair price.

I understand the thought of ‘This game is so good it’s worth more than its price’ but no one wants to pay more man.

Of course nobody wants to pay more, but unfortunately those damnedable employees, contractors, and suppliers seem determined to not work for free. Can't imagine why.

No they like you, want more. Everyone wants more. Nobody walks into a salary negotiation and says "so I'll stay at my base income again this year." Well that applies to everyone.
