Forbes wonders if video games should be more expensive,
to keep up with inflation, then quickly counters the idea with several valid points:
- DLC, passes, microtransactions, etc. are already additional costs;
- Digital distribution shrinks production cost and used market; and
- Increased costs could shrink the market during an optimal time for expansion.
I have just one comment on this article. Forbes, how dare you risk giving EA ideas?!

This controversy may never die. While I personally defend video games, it's not inherently bad to see critics searching for responses to tragedies.
It's frustrating when it feels like those critics are seeking to place blame rather than find solutions. However, I sincerely doubt that all those accusers are using the incident as a platform for some ulterior motive or personal vendetta. The situation deserves sensitivity, and it's an opinion to which people are entitled.
People are paying to go see other people play video games,
like live, in person, and that bothers some people. It bothers me too, but I'm a hypocrite.
