The Thursday letters page wonders whether Sony has a mole at Xbox HQ and vice versa, as one reader discusses scary video game enemies.
Talking of, while the price of games might not have increased since the 90s, people seem to ignore that the industry was worth around $20 billion back then and now it’s worth around $220 billion, so they are making more money even if the costs to develop games has increased.
Now games are £60-70 I pretty much never buy a game at release – the last one I did was Advance Wars, which was £50, and before that was Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition with the original Spider-Man included. Everything else, I wait for sales, or more likely, I just won’t buy, as if I’m not desperate to play at launch I am probably not actually that bothered to play the game at all.
