The gaming bill beyond the console
A gamer argues that buying a system now almost feels like the “admission price,” pointing to $69.99 games, extra controllers, online subscriptions, DLC and expansion passes.
TLDR
A gamer’s complaint about rising costs lists the Switch 2 at $499.99 and the PS5 and Xbox Series X at $649.99 each—before buying a game. The post cites $69.99 new AAA releases, some editions at $79.99 or more, and additional spending on controllers, online subscriptions, DLC and expansion passes. The author says PC players aren’t entirely spared either, with many big new releases on Steam still costing $69.99.
