Their reasoning for putting prices up is that they haven't gone up since 2005 but development cost has gone up by 300% or something. Fair enough. But they completely fail to mention that games are now jam packed full of micro-transactions - cosmetic shops, battle/season passes, XP boosters and fuck knows what else - to an absolutely fucking ridiculous amount now, whereas in 2005 you basically just had map packs or story DLC. And they make quite literally billions of dollars from them.
If they were to put prices up and remove all the MTX shit then I'd be fine with a price increase. But they won't. They'll continue to try and milk every single penny out of their playerbase. So I'll continue to buy new and used games on disc and sell them afterwards because fuck these fucking greedy publishers.
This video shows exactly why a price increase is bullshit.
