PlayStation Veteran Yoshida Considers $70/80 Games a “Bargain”

Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article:

So, picture this: You’ve got Shuhei Yoshida—yep, the PlayStation legend—talking about game prices, and honestly, it’s like he’s dropping some overdue truth bombs. I stumbled across this chat on the Critical Hits Games YouTube channel, and let me just say, it totally grabbed my attention. Not that I was planning to stick around, but you know how that goes.

Anyway—wait, hold on, what was the point? Right! Yoshida’s take on game prices just makes sense. He’s basically saying games should’ve cost more way sooner. Seriously, who decided one-size-fits-all pricing was a thing? Like, apples and oranges, folks.

“When you stop and think about it,” he says, “everything else costs way more now. But games? Kinda got left in the dust.” The man’s got a point!

And this bit really hit home: he goes, “Not every game’s gotta have the same sticker price.” Which, duh, makes sense when you think about it. Games aren’t all made equal, right? Some are epic sagas, others are like snack-sized fun. Totally should vary.

So, here’s the kicker—he mentions games hitting that $70, $80 mark, and you’d think folks would revolt. But nah, Yoshida’s like, it’s still a steal. I mean, really, how many hours have we lost to these epic adventures? Not to mention, compared to other stuff, what’s a few bucks for a mind-blowing experience?

He rounded it off with a nugget of wisdom, saying, as long as people think twice about where their cash goes, they should be good. Complaints? Not necessary. That’s what he thinks, at least. Can’t say I disagree, but maybe that’s just me.
