Why are video games so much more expensive than movies?

Because games provide longer entertainment than movies. That's why short indy games are so cheap.

Triple-A $60 games tend to be pretty damn short, too.

Except they're not, you're just stupid
>$20 for two hours of entertainment
>$5-60 with the hours changing on each game, almost always going to be over 2

From which perspective, as a consumer or as a producer?

Consumer- because people pay it. Why charge less if the customer base is already buying. All those bs dlc/deluxe/specual edition shit sells too. Basically, only have ourselves to blame.

Producer- marketing mainly

I don't get how people can play like $20 for a movie, watch it once over the course of two hours. I can understand going to a cinema, because that's usually a social thing or entails the experience that comes with the big screen and such, but buying a DVD or whatever seems like a waste of money, unless it's a pretty good film and/or you intend to watch it more than once.

I reach her in PoFV but didn't beat her on my first try and left the game because it was overall bad compared to the others, so what was her motivation?

>>344173486
She is the law. Plus it's you did lose to her since that was the canonical outcome
