Oblivion was The first AAA game to have microtransactions and now Oblivion Remastered could possibly be the last AAA game to be priced at $50-60 dollars.

with the Switch 2 being a success, we could see a rise in prices for all AAA Games. to 80-90 dollars

WHEN games do inevitably become 80-100 dollars, I'll definitely be buying more Indie games

95% of modern games especially AAA titles for switch/consoles are pure, unabashed simulacra. Why pay 80 dollars for a game that is the less authentic version of things that came out 5-20 years ago?
