This is a fallacious argument. If you look at sales for games 30 years ago the numbers will be much lower with much higher manufacturing prices. Game sell many more units today with lower overhead manufacturing. While development costs are higher it of offset by number of sales and digital distribution. Many game companies can profit even selling at half the price from 30 years ago or less.

This is pure corporate greed and should not be defended.

Yep. That mechanic killed the game for me too. I’ve tried twice more to play from the start. Its fun every time right up until that point then abandon the game again.

Its a little bit of sexy snuggling that could happen anywhere and any time!
