Huh? I haven't played Baulder's Gate 3 yet but I have seen nothing but praise for that game, and I don't believe a copy has been sold for less than $60 yet.

I don't think games being too expensive is the issue. Games simply not being interesting or fun is.



it's more for indie games than AAA stuff. But AAA did have complaints of going from $60-70, so there's that.

Certainly. When prices raise demands change. But I don't think any other industry would call a $10 price hike "anti-consumer". That's where it gets a bit weird.

It is ultimately internet noise either way, though. Not reflective of how consumers really buy. Zelda sold fine even without a new console to justify its price raise to. I'm not worried about Spiderman 2 either.
