Quote:
"I think that games should be priced based on the value proposition, so some games should be priced higher, but I don't think the publishers have the collective will to charge more. My guess is that $59.99 will be the price point. I would applaud the publishers if they tried to charge $69.99, although gamers would probably get upset," said Wedbush Securities' Michael Pachter.


This piece of shit and his "predictions" and "tips" Laughing

Yeah, because what the sales on the PC market taught us, is that profit is lower when games are cheaper...oh wait...it didn't. Very Happy This clown has been wrong so many times and yet he's some kind of rockstar analyst. But when Paris Hilton is also famous, I guess it's not surprising. Laughing

Analysts are scum. They think they predict coming events, based on past observations ... something that has been dismissed as wrong over and over again.

Charge more, see more piracy.
Charge lesser, see lesser piracy.
Develop better, charge lesser, see even lesser piracy.


Is that really THAT difficult for them to understand?!

Most of the games aren't worth $60 and he thinks they should be more? $50 was a good price for PC Games. Hell, most of the shit I play is F2P games... Hawken (man I love this f'ing game), Blacklight Retribution, Planetside 2, FireFall (once they do the overhaul at least, it's on the back burner now) and then cheap shit like Special Forces: Team-X (best game nobody plays, meh).

The trend in gaming is 10-20$ indie games, ftp models, microtransactions etc.
Full price games are becomming a thing of the past.
It is true that games did not increase in price for say 20 years, but that's not the whole story.

Not sure if lowering the price would reduce the piracy much. People will just find other excuses to pirate games.


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

I kind of agree .. That means that not so good games should cost less. And seeing that ALMOST EVERY FUCKIN SO CALLED AAA TITLE TURNS OUT TO TO BE A COMPLETE PIECE OF SHIT.. the prices should be under 20 bucks -.-

but. yeah.. sure

And just think, this clueless sack of shit is making a comfortable six figure salary for sitting in his chair all day and spewing absolute nonsense about a subject he knows fuck all about. It's people like him that are responsible for the state of the world today. Sad.
