What do you think about the current state of game pricing and DLCs?

I just keep imagining the game prices and DLCs these days. To me, they are wild because there is always hiking here and there. Of course, I get it, studios need money, but they are sacrificing the real intent of games and turning it into cash grab. Sometimes, it feels like they’re charging twice for the same game which is killing the fun for those who are low on budget. These days, you just have to be picky, which isn’t always easy.

Inflation is increasing and this is why prices of gaming equipment tend to be very expensive. This also includes in-game purchasing as well. Gaming can be expensive and this is why I tend to play free games and avoid buying products that are available in the game.

Since I don't play every game being released in the market and I am very selective about what game to play, I don't mind the current pricing strategy. However, sometimes I also wait for the prices to go down or try to buy during holiday discounts or sales.
