Is $70 Too Much To Pay For A Video Game

By Keith MitchellMarch 24, 2022
Are 70 dollar games too much

Are $70 video games a bit too pricey? That’s what I discuss in today’s video, and I have some thoughts about this—a shoutout to Tony Polanco for putting this topic into my mind.

Let’s face it, video games have been expensive in the past, but with the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, we’ve seen $70 games making the rounds.  Look at the Demon’s Souls for the PS5 or NBA 2K22 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Are we looking at a future where video games are $70 or more? It doesn’t sound good, and maybe it is, but it’s not the first time this has happened.

**This video is the opinion of myself and does not echo the thoughts of The Outerhaven**

Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out our YouTube channel for more gaming and geek culture stuff in a video format.
