Sticking with the current model pretty much ensures that all new releases will be $60+ dollars for a while.


I'd have to find the article again, but if you adjust the game prices from like 15 years ago or so for inflation, we're actually paying a bit less for games now.

Or if you just look and see that you can find games for $40 and $45 one month after release often. Sometimes the prices even drop faster.

Yeah, I have seen and heard that. It's also probably a reason why developers aren't taking many risks anymore and load up on DLC. I see that on steam the new Payday game is dropping at $30 on release day, so clearly the no used game/lending games policies can have a positive effect for gamers. I still think that consoles will eventually make that move and cheaper games will result.
