The Senate is studying a bill that would introduce a framework for a policy that would guarantee access to a livable income to everyone over 17.

      This is a reflection of big budgets for games growing over time. Customers demand more, costs go up.

        That’s not the point.

        The statement was that they wouldn’t raise prices due to backlash, so to avoid raising prices they added micro transactions.

        But then they raised prices as well

        And there was some backlash

        And now games are more expensive upfront and we also have micro transactions. And games still sell.

        My point is, prices only go up, any backlash will be temporary, and if they do it slow enough they’ll keep enough of their base it won’t matter.

        All the streaming services do the same thing.
