Why do digital games cost so much?

I should charge devs rent for taking up space on my HD.

Because you are buying them on day 1 with a season pass.

Just wait until every new game is part of a monthly subscription service to various store fronts.

It's due to regional pricing. You pay more depending on where you buy from. Buying them from the US, very expensive. Buying them at SEA, cheap-as-free. Yarr!

I know about free games. I'm just angry they cost more than they should, and stay expensive longer. Before you call me a poorfag, yes, but 9 year old me sees 60 or 80 usd and shits his pants. Much better, physical games only cost me 40 usd 20 years ago. Even with inflation, what the **** am I paying for? The credit scoll? Its an hour ******* long, and every game is just goddam crafting and snarky woman who means business.

They take time to play through, and as we all know, time is money.
Ain't nothing in this life that's free dumb-dumbs.

A good digital game is worth more than it costs. There's no such thing as a free lunch, but some things are worth more than money can buy.

Like Serious Sam.
