The price of video games today? No, not the system, the actual game.

We're paying $50-$60+ for a ****ing game.

With that kind of money I can..

- Buy 3 pairs of pants.
- Buy 3-6 shirts.
- Buy a hefty amount of groceries.
- Buy some sex (oh lawl'd).

Instead of all that, we buy a disc.

Then again, from another point of view, the people who make these games spend millions of dollars just to produce it. They give it to us for $60. Reasonable.

Discuss?

Yes. to create video games takes real talent. I don't mine spending money on a disk and therefore I will never pirate it. Now on the other hand....

These stupid music artists with no talent producing a CD in less that 3 days that barely cost what your budget was for your 16 YO daughters car and charging us $20 for crap.

"I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T" No I don't know what the **** that means.

**** stupid new $60 games. That's a waste of time and money. I beat almost all the games I get in less than a week anyways.

Adding on to what Basis said, thats why theres MMOs. But, they usually don't cost much. I see them from $10-$40.

I enjoy my life of piracy.

Runahs · 01-27-2008, 01:42 AM

Meh $60 is reasonable. As long as the game is entertaining that is... But I buy all my games and I don't mind... Pirating ftl.

It doesn't take millions of dollars to create a video game it costs hundreds of thousands to a million. And the amount that they charge is not reasonable. They sell half a million copy and they make $30million dollars.

This is classic idiocy of how economy works in relation to time and quality. Well, I hope you learn.
