It has only been about 2 years since Microsoft raised prices from $60 to $70! I don't think it's a good idea they are doing it again so soon. Instead of raising prices, manage game development budgets better. -

Intel's 20-core Ultra 7 processor is now available with a massive discount by Taras Buria The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, Intel's latest 20-core desktop processor, is getting more affordable. Now, the chip is available on Amazon with a 36% discount, saving you $144, which you can spend on a higher-spec graphics card, better cooling, a bigger SSD, or some new games. If you want to build a computer with the discounted Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, you will need a motherboard with the LGA 1851 socket and 800 series chipset. The Core Ultra 7 265K has 20 cores, 8 of which are performance cores, and 12 are efficiency cores operating at lower clocks for less demanding tasks. Performance cores have the maximum clock speed of 5.4GHz, while efficiency cores peak at 4.6GHz. However, the processor is unlocked, which means you can push those clocks higher if you have enough cooling and a motherboard that supports overclocking. Speaking of cooling, the processor has a TDP of 125W. A cooler is not included in the box, so do not forget to add one to your shopping cart. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K has 30MB of level 3 cache (L3). It works with DDR5 memory (rated for 6,400 MT/s) and has a built-in graphics at 2GHz, which is enough for image output, media consumption, and all sorts of tasks that do not require a lot of GPU power. There is also a neural processing unit with 13 TOPS, which can handle on-device AI processing.

It's stuff like this countries like Denmark are giving up by switching to Linux. Good luck to them. -

I think a big part of it is developers have grown themselves too big and ballooned their budgets. It's the only way to show endless growth to investors between releases. Then they make massive investments in games designed for the bottom line hoping players follow instead of designing them for the players and hoping the bottom line follow in the way smaller, indie developers do. This often causes the games to fail to hook players. Instead they need to streamline development, lower budgets and sales forecasts, actually listen to gamer feedback, realize that social media doesn't dictate real world gaming tastes and habits, and overall learn to adapt instead of regurgitating the same formulas over and over. -
