What if you pay the standard price, here in the US it’s 59.99 but with ads during the loading screen. Or pay a small premium, like 69.99, and get no ads
That would defeat the purpose of the fast loading that the SSD provides, that probably would have been a decent option for the current gen though.
If we have the option of paying an extra $10 up front and they stop trying to hook micro transactions into games I'd be all for it.
For $70, you better give me a finished, polished product with zero future transactions in it.
Which is never going to happen.Yep. For the few games that are worth $60 now (not that many to be honest), I'd pay $70, but there better not be a single microtransaction in there.

price should be going down, not up. The rise of digital means they get more per unit sold. Microtransactions everywhere.
Games already had a price hike not that long ago anyway.
Put it this way, if games go to $70 then I will never buy a new game on release.
If they keep raising the prices then the consumerbase is going to shrink. 60 bucks for a video game is very pricey.Prices went up at the beginning of the last generation, it has been a long time and costs have gone up as well. A big AAA game takes a much bigger dev team now and they take longer to make so something has to give at some point if we want the industry to remain healthy. That doesn't mean a company has to be as bad as EA or Activision but prices going up makes sense IMO.

I know some out there say “pc games are cheaper”. I haven’t bought a pc game ever, so yee. All I hear is people saying “I have so many games that I bought on sale I’ve yet to play one, in years”. Anyways, aren’t games(AAA games or nothing indie) on pc usually the same price as their console/switch counterpart upon release?
No it isn't the best way. Raising the price to $100 bucks wouldn't stop all s***ty money making schemes.They went two generations on the same price point, it's not like they are raising them every two years. I get what you are saying but if we want these companies to stop or at least slow down on trying other ways to screw us over I think a basic $10 up front would be the best way. They could also get more creative with their pricing and charge prices depending on what each individual game cost to make but that's never going to happen either.

And it doesn't matter how often they raise prices.
The problem today is these companies are poorly run. They waste alot of resources on pointless crap. They don't listen to consumers and build games with the content they want. Everything is always bigger when there is no need for it. The extra money making schdmes are terribly executed. Games release in terrible states and drives the playerbase down resulting in less post launch cash flow.
How about they fix the underlying problems instead of jacking up prices.
Just look EA: According to them Anthem not being good is the gamers fault. With ignorance like this the games industry is f***ed.
When you get rid of Microtransaction you bet your ass they are going to jack the prices.
Shareholders is not an excuse.EA is looking more and more like a lost cause, it's too bad we don't have more private companies making games, this model where they have to show huge growth every year just to make investors happy is killing their relationship with their customers. There is a lot of bloat at times for sure but at the same time we have more powerful hardware coming that's going to require more resources to take advantage of even if it's run more efficiently, it's just something that's going to happen.
give me game for free and put as many ads as you want, if I pay premium price for a digital game - no way in hel will I accept pure advertisement in a game (except the usual stealthy product placement thing).What if you pay the standard price, here in the US it’s 59.99 but with ads during the loading screen. Or pay a small premium, like 69.99, and get no ads
