$50 should still be the norm.
- I refuse to ever pay $70 for a game
  
  If it's a game I'm going to get hundreds, or sometimes thousands of hours from, then I'll pay more. If you look at price per hour spent on entertainment, it's hard to compare. However, you often have to wade through a bunch of shitty overpriced games to find those gems.
  
  Okay, back to EU4 now ;)
  
  I will only do this for games I know I will like, from studios I want to support.
  
  I literally will wait until a sale ends to buy a game made by Yoko Taro or FromSoftware at full price.
  
  Sits back in porch chair, Back in my day you could get a fully complete console game wið online multiplayer and all ð bells and whistles, for just ÞIRTY DOLLARS
- Should probably tell inflation to stop being a thing, then.

  To me, $70 is a reasonable price based on what bread costs now, but the minimum wage needs to like, triple.
  
  The focus on freemium games and whales may even be driven by America’s wealth gap.
What a world we live in, where cheaper games are seen as less quality because the theory of capitalism has conditioned us to believe higher quality = higher price.
New franchise needs to build a following first. The lower price point will get more people to try it. I'm sold already, but there's a ton of people who have no idea what this game is still and won't until it releases. I hope it's as good as it looks, and I hope it succeeds and leads to more.
I'm so excited for this game.
