Are Video Games Too Expensive?

Episode 246

Recently, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier put out an article called "Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy". Today, we talk about his article and points where we agree and disagree, and discuss the broader landscape of video game pricing in 2026. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (God of War Sons of Sparta, Resident Evil 2). This episode was recorded in February 2026. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.
