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

    That’s true, but you also have to take into account the absolute value of a game. How much is a game worth for the average person? Better graphics are a diminishing return, I’m having a blast playing indie games with ps1/2 graphics. Here I can buy a movie ticket for less than 10 € (around 8 I think), this mean that I can buy a game or watch 10-12 movies. Time the switch 2 will tell. And even if Nintendo can do it, they’ll try that on pc and I don’t think they’ll be able to replicate it.
