Summary
Shuhei Yoshida's comments on game pricing have both familiar and frustrating resonance for gamers. Once a top Sony executive, he argues that while other products' prices have skyrocketed, game prices haven't seen as much backlash, despite rising from $50 to $60. He believes people shouldn't complain if they're mindful of their spending, a perspective he claims is missing the mark in today's economy.
