I just noticed something and it got me thinking. I really feel that we're going to see an increase in standard game pricing now. What brought this up?

$69.99. Seventy friggin' dollars for a game. It's been pointed out that this is probably the "deluxe" version but I am going to wager that the "deluxe" version is actually the "full" game they created. The "standard" editions of games are going to now be stripped down, weapons removed, character skins not included, maps not included, and so on.

We all hate Day 1 DLC. It's been known for a while now, and now companies are beginning to see that and looking for other ways to make money. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against businesses and money-making, but I definitely see a price hike on games in the near future.

New wii u games are pre-selling for $99

I played the last MoH too when I got it on a Steam sale. It was alright but I kept wondering if the game was made ten years ago lol.

Prices will go up, and more people will turn to used games, or wait for sales. You would think the Steam sales would teach them something.

Been waiting and praying that MS would, but they never did. Can't even remember the last time I logged onto my 360.

The last game I have ever paid full price for was Portal 2. As far as I'm concerned it won't be till Half Life 3 that I pay full price for a game again, especially if companies are going to try and justify a $70 price tag...

Which is why they're going to try and annihilate the idea of used games completely.

Yep. Money money money MONEY!

Seeing how its EA, that is 70 dollars on top of 50-70 more for all the DLC, if you want to keep playing. I just tried to play BF3 on the PC again, without either DLC packs. I found about 6 matches with people in them, not many people, and crappy maps(1000 ticket operation metro). I'm much happier paying some indie dev 5-20 bucks for their game than any of EA's games and there crappy "services".

Ah that sucks. I have been wanting to play that again too.
