Well, if you think your game prices are too low, just raise them. The market will regulate this all on it's own.
He knows that. Which is why he's talking about it and not actually doing it.
He's basically just whining about it to us.
I'm worried that he's actually speaking to other CEOs. "If you raise prices, so will we."
They largely are. $70 is becoming the new price point for a new game.
First of all, consider how many hours of use you usually get out of such a AAA title, and you will see that it's actually quite cheap entertainment. And second, there are good games (to waste countless hours on) that are way cheaper.
Hell, if you're patient, various platforms give away good games for free all the time.
Yeah, and aside from less expensive indies I’ve bought fewer new games than ever this year.
