Saber Interactive CEO Predicts End of $70 AAA Game Pricing
Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive, argues that the standard $70 price tag for AAA games is unsustainable and likely to decrease due to evolving market dynamics.
- Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch suggests the $70 price point for AAA games is not sustainable, citing high risk and financial strain on developers.
- Karch highlights the success of games like Helldivers 2, which thrived at a lower price point, indicating a shift towards more affordable gaming.
