Alright, so get this: Shuhei Yoshida, the PlayStation guy, he’s been around forever, right? He’s out here saying, “Hey, maybe games costing $70 or $80 isn’t the end of the world.” Actually, he thinks publishers should’ve hiked prices ages ago. Yep, you heard that right—he’s like, “We’re actually late to the price hike party.” Not sure how I feel about that, but okay.
So, he chatted with Critical Hits Games on YouTube—ah, GamesRadar caught that, by the way. He’s got this wild idea that not all games should have a set price. Makes sense, I guess? Anyway, he’s basically saying if a game’s like, top-tier awesome, then maybe it deserves that hefty price tag. And what about other stuff we buy—haven’t prices gone up?
He got talking about how every game’s got this unique vibe, different budgets, ya know? So why slap the same price on all of them? “It’s up to the publishers!” he says. I mean, isn’t that what they’re already doing? Kinda?
And check this—Yoshida thinks dropping $70 or $80 on a killer game? Still a bargain, if you think about all the epic hours of fun you get. Way better than spending it on other random stuff. But he’s like, just make sure you’re smart about what you buy, no use whining about it later. Makes you wonder, huh?
Honestly, his perspective, kinda refreshing? Or maybe I’m just a bit all over the place. Anyway, that’s Yoshida’s take on it. Do with that what you will.
