To be honest, the price of most games is not any more prohibitively expensive than they always were, in fact in many cases they are much cheaper. It’s more than everything else in life in more expensive and wages aren’t keeping up.
While the last sentence is very true, it’s a failing of pricing to understand the segment they need to fit into. If the product is so expensive to make that they price themselves out, there’s an indication there’s a problem with their own budgeting.
I don’t disagree, but I think it’s a tough situation. Games have evolved so much and while there are many, many incredible indie games without all the bells and whistles of a modern cutting-edge games, I do think it’s still an important segment of the market and one that people are still buying.
