A new week ahs started, and yes as it seems GTAV is still going string. Here are the ten top selling titles on Steam for the week as reported by Valve: Grand Theft Auto VBattleriteCounter-Strike: Glo... Steam Top Ten Selling PC games September 26th 2016
new games way are too expensive cause no need to make a copy,package,manual,transportation etc.. expenses are minimum.
Those expenses have surely gone down for sure, on the other hand there are platform fees to pay (Steam cut is 30%) and, AFAIK, developing design assets for AAA games has become more and more time consuming over the years. All in all, videogames offer great value for their price compared to most other hobbies, as long as you don't buy on day 1 and only play 2 hours.
When you factor inflation while comparing historical prices, video games have never been cheaper even though the costs to create games have skyrocketed.
I think this must include micro-transactions too. It is the only way I can see CS:GO still being on this list and not having hit some sort of saturation point.
