In recent years, the quality of many games has continued to decline, while their prices have been soaring. Even as high as $70, publishers are still not satisfied. Because they hope that Rockstar will take the lead in selling "GTA6" at a price of 80-100 US dollars, so that they can also increase the price accordingly.
Recently, Abubakar Salim, the voice actor of Bayek in "Assassin's Creed: Origins", stood up against the continued increase in game prices. He calls those willing to pay $100 for a game elitist and believes they are out of touch with reality.
With inflation rising, any price for a game over $60 is unreasonable and will only have a negative impact on developers. Many players have already called for a boycott.
Abubakar Salim said no one should have to choose between buying games and food. This is why he priced the game "Tales of Kenzera: Zau" developed by his studio at $20.
The cost of developing games is getting higher and higher now, and AAA games require hundreds of millions of dollars. Most fans are ready to pay upwards of $70 for GTA 6, and as soon as its price is announced, the entire gaming industry will follow suit.
