In the past days, there were many events related to the gaming industry, so we were about to reveal the prices of the new generation platforms, which were very good in real terms, whether the Xbox Series or PlayStation 5, but things returned to tension again when the prices of the additional download spaces were revealed and how they would be very expensive On the new generation, at least for the current period, and finally the tension increased when Sony officially announced the price of its exclusive products, which is $ 70 for the AAA exclusives.
Sony's justification for raising prices for PlayStation 5 games
Sony was the first company to raise the price of games, and of course the company had some justifications that may seem logical to some and not at all logical to others.
According to Sony, the exclusivity of the new platform will use a set of new and modern technologies to capture and process sound and a wide range of technologies related to the new joystick, which is supposed to transfer the gaming experience to a completely new level. Of course, these technologies have raised the value of the cost of developing games, which necessitates raising the price of games So that the company can realize its profits.
However, there is an opinion opposing this trend saying that Sony has priced its upcoming platforms less than its real price in order to compete with Xbox, and in order to compensate for this loss, it resorted to raising the prices of its exclusive games, taking advantage of the value of these exclusives and the players' interest in buying them.
Games not worth the new pricing
During this month I have tried many games, but none of the games have reached an excellent rating
But there is a bad game that I tried. There was a game that had a very special case, which is NBA 2K21, and this game is a special case, not because it is a good game, but on the contrary, this game was bad to the maximum.
The idea here is that the price of this game on the platforms of the current generation and the PC is $ 60, and the game is issued on the new generation for a full $ 70.
The crisis cannot be that the game is bad and costs so much, in fact the game may be very bad, but it was developed after painfully using huge budgets and we have many examples of these games in the history of the game industry.
The biggest problem is that the game is a replica of NBA 2K20, the game is literally a mirror version of the older part and has not been improved in any way.
Here I am not cruel to the game, as it has very poor ratings from the players on the Steam store and it did not even get to 30%, and all the players' opinions revolve around the idea of repetition and the absence of anything new in this game.
Why does this game even cost 60$?
Literally, the game is not worth the $ 60 amount at all and is not even worth the $ 30 amount in the first place, what is the amount of spending on this duplicate game.
Nothing new has been added to this game except for a new game mode similar to FIFA FUT which could have been added in a small update that would cost you only $ 10 at most.
Here we are exposed to a clear and obvious deception. All this while I am talking about the amount of 60 dollars, what about the amount of 70 dollars allocated to copying the new generation?
The matter is completely unacceptable and incomprehensible, as we are subject to exploitation in the name of the new generation platforms or whatever the name is, and by the way, I do not recognize the idea of new technologies.
There have always been new technologies, each generation differs from the previous one in terms of technologies, the PS3 platform when it was released was a quantum leap compared to the PS2, and when the current generation was released, it was also a qualitative leap compared to the previous generation, and we will find that the prices of the current and previous generation are very close.
In this way, the prices of the next generation after the next will be more expensive and we will continue like this?
On the contrary, technology is becoming more and more advanced day by day, and when it increases, it becomes more widespread and the more widespread and advanced its price increases significantly, go back to the value of computers in the nineties, you will find that these devices have decreased in value very significantly at the present time.
Therefore, technological progress would reduce spending on existing technologies, and this means an increase in corporate profits in the first place, and not the opposite at all.
If Sony uses modern joystick technology, the graphics and visual effects technology has become much cheaper and less expensive.
Personally, I do not object to the offer if it is due, but it is definitely at the present time not due at all, especially since every company issues games and has many internal purchases.
Let's use NBA 2K21 as a constant example in this article, and it contains mini-purchases as well, so how can the developer and publisher ask me for all this money in games that will make more money later through purchases that are placed in the game provocatively and are very necessary or matched by long hours of Play and effort to tie the cuff a little.
Personally, I am not satisfied with these new pricing, especially after the low level of games that are released
