Reply to comment by Herpes-Vagina in Why are games so expensive nowdays? by PythonEntusiast

... Is that not what I said?

Most AAA titles are $60 nowadays and have been for some time. Higher priced items come with optional items (aka what you get micro transactions).

I can certainly buy and play the newest Call of Duty for $60. It won't come with a bonus skin or the first season pass of content however.

"bonus" is a marketing word for game content that has been removed, only to sell it later in a 120 dollar edition.

See Ubisoft games. They literally introduced 5 different editions per game.

That's a lot of words to simply say, "Yes, that is exactly what you said."
