Maybe you should actually look into what you talk about or experience it before you slam things..

      Sad to see that you have a chance to procreate and give to the world more people as closed minded as you.

Games like Zelda, Uncharted, Battlefield, Overwatch takes lots of time and lots of money to be published and developed, that is why they can put it on that price. Dont compare console/PC games with mobiles, because they are complete different. Im guessing you dont have any creative background thus making you think that "games should be cheap" and just pirate away and give the excuses that "i dont have 50$". Just stick to mobile gaming then, stay away from PC/Console games, since "freemium" is you thing.

                        Nintendo's motto: Least powerful, most popular. That's true only for one console out of two (64, GCN, Wii, Wii U, NX)

Or would you like to work hard on something, and end up not being paid because people pirated your games instead?

                          I agree that games should be reasonably priced, but we must also remember that there is a cost to making good games.

                            Instead of a game that gave you so much fun playing, regardless on what console or PC it was on?

                              Calling pc and console games expensive is funny when people spend more than what a PS4 Pro costs on these chance based games that have no guarantee of giving top tier or decent units/items.

                              And do you have proof that millionaires don't spend on games? Ever heard of those people called Whales?

                                    What I write here is based on research globally, not media reports.

                                    If you know anyone who started with Atari 2600 and is here with current generations after 18 console and titles exclusive to each, played and discovered what were behind each, key selling point and when they start to fall, did physical surveys about each console and what people's Idea about each title in each console,

                                    Then, You are right. I'm too young.

                                    If not, I know what am I talking about.
