[QUOTE="pinballmonster, post: 296935, member: 8047"] In one of the Uber-long complaint threads, a Redditor mentions that seemingly all of the game studios are charging more and more and engaging in "anti-consumer" practices. The underlying subtext no one seems to be mentioning is how addicted gamers are to these video games. The only solution for these people is to develop real world interests. My understanding is that many gamers don't do anything in their free time aside from play video games. Many of them work in front of a screen only to go home to stare at a screen. Is there a problem with game studio pricing? Could be. But there is DEFINITELY a problem with gamers' inability to pull themselves away from screens. Spending 8, 12, 16 hours a day in front of a screen has to take a toll, physically and emotionally. Problems like obesity, social isolation, declining social skills are among the most obvious.
