To recoup lost revenue on declining sales, major publishers will be raising the base price for games to $90, with extended 'complete' editions retailing $145.

Says, major CEO "gamers need to stop alienating themselves and pay up. When sales increase the prices will ~~go down~~ stop increasing (as much... maybe)."

Beatings will resume until morale improves.
