Gamers Are About To Pay For This
from 8-Bit Eric on Odysee Hosted by 8-Bit Eric
Gaming is getting more expensive, AAA games are costing more than ever to make, console and subscription prices continue to rise, and gamers are increasingly being asked to pay more while getting fewer ownership options. So what happens next? I recently talked about why I think gamers are getting screwed by the direction the industry is heading, but there's a bigger question: how long can the current AAA gaming model actually continue like this? Huge development budgets, longer development cycles, rising hardware costs, more expensive games, subscription increases and the push toward digital-only gaming are all happening at the same time. I don't think we're heading toward another video game crash like 1983. I think something else may happen first: the AAA business model is going to have to change. Because gamers aren't an infinite ATM. In this video I break down why AAA gaming is becoming so expensive, why consumers keep getting handed the bill, why paying more while owning less isn't sustainable, and what I think eventually has to change. Where is YOUR limit? $80 games? Higher console prices? Subscription increases? Digital-only consoles? Losing physical games completely? Let me know below. #Gaming #GamingNews #VideoGames
