PlayStation Veteran Yoshida Considers $70/80 Games a “Bargain”

So, Shuhei Yoshida, right? This longtime PlayStation guru has been dropping some interesting thoughts about game prices. Like, are they really worth the seventy or eighty bucks now? That’s where we’re heading, folks. Anyway, he chatted with that Critical Hits Games YouTube thing. Maybe you read about it on GamesRadar, who knows?

Shuhei was pretty upfront about it—they should’ve cranked prices a long time ago. But they didn’t. I guess the cost of everything’s shooting up, not just video games. I mean, look around. Weirdly delayed, if you ask him.

But hold up, he doesn’t think every single game should have that same sticker price. Nah, makes sense, right? Each game is like its own weird art piece or monster of budget—totally different beasts. So, it’s on the publishers, or those brave indie devs, to slap on a price that vibes with whatever magic they think they’re delivering.

Now, about that seventy to eighty bucks thing… Yoshida thinks if a game is super top-tier—like blow-your-mind good—then yeah, it’s still a crazy bargain for the sheer fun you get. Really, think about it. Compared to other ways you waste—I mean, spend—your downtime, it checks out.

But here’s a kicker—choose your battles, especially when tossing out cash. Complaining? Nah, not if you pick your entertainment wisely, he says.

Odd thoughts, right? But kind of sticks with you.
