Why are pcs so fucking expensive you dumb frogposter?

considering they haven't increased in price in over a decade to account for inflation and the skyrocketing of budgets, $60 is actually pretty cheap. It's the cheapest video games have ever been by a fairly substantial amount.

N64 carts were $80 in 1997 money

Seriously wondering this aswell.
PS3 game from like 7 years ago costs 20$ while the same game on PC costs less than 10$.
What the fuck?

digital games don't have the option of reselling used games to drive up the market price for new games.

Used ps3 games from like 7 years ago usually cost less than their pc counterparts.

Everyone freaked out at the idea of the standard price going up to $70, so instead we now get dlc and microtransactions out the ass to make up that money

I could literally go to the store, put the pc version and ps3 version of ac brotherhood next to each other, take a photo and post it but I'm not going to.
It might just be my country.

literally no
try and find Skyrim for consoles for $5

No piracy, so publishers don't have to stay competitive.

Closed platform so Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo need to take their cut.

They're not really, even at 400 bucks spread out over the consoles life span isn't much at all. If you're an adult and you can't drop that once every 5-7 years you shouldn't be playing video games, should be out applying for a better job.

PCs are expensive so are consoles, we're talking about software here.

>>341995553
Because everyone's focused on photorealism.
Be glad that at least Nintendo avoided this pitfall trap.

Most modern /v/ posters are in the 15-17 age bracket; they spend maybe about 3-400 bucks a year on videogame related stuff, if that.

It might be that too. Nobody buys physical pc games in America anymore, I couldn't even tell you what the pricing for that is like.

Comparatively, on Amazon right now, AC brotherhood is $16.79 ps3 new, $0.36 ps3 used, $19.89 pc new $3.46 pc used, $19.99 on Steam.

You can hack your 3DS/Wii U/PSP/PS2/XBOX easily

360/PS3 are possible but harder to hack plus it's hard to find the game files unless you're on a private tracker.

Nothing for PS4/Xbone yet.

Skyrim is $10 used ps3 on Amazon, and 20 dollars on steam and 20 used on amazon. Actually, the price for new ps3 is cheaper than used on amazon or digital, but shipping evens it out.

That game is an outlier since it's so popular, and also it's only 5 years old, not 7.
