Fuck the US for inflicting this on the rest of the world.
At least the ones that voted the orange guy.

I think it was actually publishers like EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, and Activision that started the price increase. For big titles they started raising them to $70 a year or two ago, then to 80. I think I remember Diablo 4 launching for $80, or so.

I only know this because I refuse to buy from these publishers.

if anyone was looking for a good time to switch to PC, it’s now. some stuff will be harder but you’ll have steam sales and control over your own device (more than a console anyway, if your running windows you’ll still have to put up with Microsoft).

Luckily, there is another choice. Linux runs pretty smooth and has gotten much simpler to use over the years.

Yeah, I’ve been an xnbox user since 360 but I don’t think I’ll stick with another console.

I’ve been looking at handheld PC`s…
