I’ll check it out. I’ve actually started keeping track of all games and have broken them down in different categories.

-Games Ive beat -Games I started and still want to beat -Games I’ve started but don’t plan to go back to -Games that can’t be beat but have put ton of hours into

It’s been really fun to keep track and share with my friends. One thing I’ve always wanted to do is input them in to a system and see a pie chart on cool stats like Most played genre and things.

$60 has been about the go to point for a decade now for AAA titles.

$80 and $120 usually is some kind of premium version that includes optional features and/or has a baked in Season Pass for post launch content. The more expensive versions usually have physical benefits (Statues, art books, and the like).

Half of Reddit: They aren't!! Game prices don't even match inflation!! The first Legend of Zelda game cost $80!! Games should be $200 or more today, so we're actually fortunate!!

The other half of Reddit: It's the greedy, corporate, quarterly profit focused bastards!! DLC and micro transactions have fucked everything!!

My own take is that most games are somewhat overpriced, but not excessively so. And some games have far more value than others, so they really shouldn't all cost the same.
