    Let’s try and look at silver linings

    What would be great is if price hikes cause people to purchase games that are worth it causing developers to release complete and feature rich games without further abysmal monetization strategies.

      … or, we get lots and lots of 2D, sidescrolling, pixel-art games with anime tiddy cover art.

        I‘ve had a blast with The Finals over the last year and it cost me zero point nothing. Plus almost the entire retro catalog with all time classics can be accessed by a single purchase of a retro handheld that can cost you between 30 to 300 bucks depending on your budget. That‘s insanely cheap. You won‘t need new games for a very long time and even if you did, there are more fantastic indie games being made than ever and a growing number of them offers free demos for you to try. And they won‘t cost you an arm and a leg. Promise.
