    All raising prices is going to do is force audiences to choose between games, meaning they buy fewer games.

    maybe a shift of consumer indulgence to indie? I feel like this hurts mid-budget games specifically.

      Yes. Medium studios will drop out of existence as they get bullied out of the market. Either they’ll be swallowed into the big publishers doing AAA titles at high prices or they’ll break up into indies selling low priced games.
