@DionG @realc Yeah. I'm playing on Stadia because I knew this game would be patch city and otherwise not run great. Even The Verge said that the best way to play this was currently in Stadia. Saves space on my PS5 for good games there!
Poll is broken. I went back and forth on which platform to get it on, but ultimately I pre-ordered on Stadia because I don't have to worry about updates and disk size, it'll automatically get the jump in fidelity when they release the upgraded hardware Q1 2021, and it seems like a game I would want to pull out and play randomly, regardless of where I'm at, to complete a few missions.
I obviously don't want to pay more for games, but the cost of games for the Nintendo were $60 in the 80s, while we expect more and the cost of production had increased significantly. Adjusted for inflation, we should be paying about $130 USD for a game. The only thing keeping costs down for a new game are microtransactions and the fact that games can now be sold without physical production, shipping, shelf space, etc. eating into the cost thanks to digital marketplaces.
@Robinsad While dev costs have increased, the entry price of games have remained relatively flat. This is due to DLC, ads, and in game transactions. I'm not at all surprised or upset unless game prices increase.
