Only if you buy games immediately when they come out. They’re fairly cheap if you play games that came out 2 years ago. The pricing model seems to be geared around kids getting the latest game as a gift or with allowance or something. And psychological manipulation if it’s a free-to-play game.
It depends on the company/game I’m guessing. Space Marine 2 came out 2 years ago and is still £60 on PS5. Most of the old Call of Duty games are still £40-50 on the PS Store as well. Baldur’s Gate 3 is still £60. Assuming the discs are cheaper but I don’t really have the storage space for them anymore, so I’ll just stick to the games I already own. I don’t get bored of Minecraft or Skyrim much anyway.
Games are definitely more expensive on consoles. Especially games exclusive to Nintendo. PCs are of course much more expensive to buy. So maybe it’s only true of games that don’t have a graphics-intensive art style.
Video games should really just be stuck on 2010- 2016 graphics.
Most modern AAA game takes like 32 gb ram to not play under 30 fps at the very least. Maybe their logic is if their game is like unplayable without really good pc or ps5 that means their game would be less likely be pirated, but that ends up just not having people buy in the first place.
Meanwhile games like terraria minecraft even dare i say it league are like most popular games ever and i believe part of it is that you can actually play them on something like college laptops.
The video games I play most often are still Minecraft and Skyrim due to price and storage requirements. Last year I started a Minecraft “forever world” for the first time and have been enjoying building in it.
The price of gaming in general is just taking the piss now.
