Sega hints at $70 price increase for games

Game prices are slowly rising. The trend started back in 2020 when Take-Two charged a steep $70 for NBA 2K21. In recent years, most large companies have jumped on this bandwagon. Companies have different reasons for raising prices. Some present it as something necessary to maintain quality, while others argue that it is necessary to grow due to inflation and other factors.
