Der er lige nu debat om hvor dyre spil skal gå hen og blive i en verden hvor priserne på alle mulige andre dagligdagsvarer ligeledes stiger, og hvor lønforholdene for mange simpelthen ikke følger trop. For nylig lader det til at spilpriserne står til at stige til $69,99, og det er foruden mikrotransaktionerne, Battle Passes og alt det andet.
Men spørger du tidligere Sony-chef Shuhei Yoshida, så kan spil sagtens retfærdiggøre den højere pris hvis altså bare de er gode nok. I et interview med Critical Hit (via GamesRadar) siger han at spil sagtens kan stige i pris:
"Each game has different value it provides, or the size of budget. I totally believe it's up to the publisher - or developers self-publishing - decision to price their product to the value that they believe they are bringing in,"
"In terms of actual price of $70 or $80, for really great games, I think it will still be a steal in terms of the amount of entertainment that the top games, top quality games bring to people compared to other form of entertainment. As long as people choose carefully how they spend their money I don't think they should be complaining."

Er du enig med Yoshida?
