We pay roughly the same price we paid ten years ago for games that last only half or one third of the time games used to last at that time. So yes, I think that paying current amount of cash and getting less almost each year for the same price is too much. This is probably the reason why I nowadays get more games from sale…
It's difficult for me to buy games that I have a strong desire to play when they cost $60. But some are worth it, because of the amount of time and effort that went into creating them.

These are my price points for consoles: I'll pay $60 for Metal Gear, Final Fantasy and Resident Evil. Those are the three series I have enjoyed most over the years and have sparked my imagination in so many ways. They have high production values and wow me. (Wow factor: that's the key point.) These games give me an…
