Not very surprising. Development costs are going up and up and sixty dollars per game just isn't going to cut it anymore.
People will huff-'n-puff and stomp around about it regardless, but this is accurate.

This will probably fall through.
AAA-publishers want to up the price tag to get as much money as they can
before the console market collapses on itself.
I can only hope this will not affect pricing for the PC versions.
As much as I hope it does for the sake of better PC games. The console market is way stronger than you understand.IntelligentME3Fanboy wrote...

Nice to see expressing an opinion is now considered "huff-'n-puff" and "stomping around" Guess we should just smile and take it, eh?

People wait until said luxury items go down in price if they can't swing it on release day. I do it all the time.

Happens with regular cost of living all the time, as well as with just about all other luxury items. There's a difference between voicing an opinion and being unreasonable, which usually hinges on people not understanding that production costs increase.

A production cost leap of a third in one go? That's normal?

I (reluctantly) swallowed the increase from 50-60 bucks. But a frog will hop off a stove if the temperature rises too fast.

If the price drops to $20 on Amazon as quickly as it did for ME3, this won't be a problem for me. It won't be a problem at all.

Sadly, there's a reason why it dropped as quickly as it did. And it's not one to encourage buying the game.

Why would a price increace stop Micro transactions & gimicy DLC? I know you Aussie's have it tough when it comes to buying games but I mean you can just still pay $100 dollars (€60 here in Ireland) without buying **** DLC or Pay $120 and still not buy the **** DLC because it's not going away no matter the price of the Base game. Like this is EA we are talking about here:P

I'm not talking about just EA when I speak about the nickle-diming DLC. Other companies do it too and it's becoming quite an infuriating trend.
Why I think increasing the price of the base game would help is due to the fact that because these games are so overdue for a price increase. I atest that to the dlc-whoring as a means of compensating.

If we were all like Dreamgazer then the next gen would require online to play as the console development costs were going up and the publishers and console manufacturers needed to cut out the owned game market as it was not making them money to help cover costs for the games.
