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

pirating games is the only way to go... they just cost too damn much for what is almost always very little actual value, in my opinion. So very few games actually hold my attention for more than a couple hours and I'm sure as shit not going to give someone $30+ for that. on the off-chance a game grips me and sucks me in then i definitely will go buy it on steam because i feel like that's fair, but i'm not going to do that if they're $90
