Yes, because you know what? It is a solution, if everyone does it. If they started releasing games at $80, and everyone just said "Nope, sorry!" and refused to pay it, that practice would stop really fast. I have a huge game backlog, and there's tons of great indie games with $10-$25 price tags that won't be subject to this bullshit.

What's your plan to discourage this practice, complain about it on Lemmy and then buy the games anyway? I'm sure that'll be madly successful.
