How did $48 become the new $60?

Games always were like 60 bucks, dude.

Dunno where you got that oddly specific 48 bucks.

Reading comprehension

Amazon prime is the answer, as for why they started doing that I'm not sure. You don't see me complaining though.

>$60 game goes on sale shortly after launch
>people laugh and call it a blunder

>people complain about games being $60

i honestly never understood this.

Actually, GCU is the answer. BB was first.

PC games have always been 49.99, it's only by a few years they became 59.99 plus dlc.

As soon as stupid motherfuckers, countless hordes of which can be found right here on /v/, started paying it.

The real question is: Why is $60 still the standard, when not every game is AAA and there are a shit ton of sales all year long, even on release day?

or why people complain about G2A or Green Man Gaming who have $60 games for $40 sometimes

I remember that but I've heard that was the case due to blue-rays costing more than DVDs.
