Renowned YouTuber and gamer Ajey Nagar, known as Carry Minati, expresses concerns in his recent tweets about the increasing monetization trend in video gaming. He highlights how players now have to invest money not just in purchasing the game but also in various in-game features and building in-game characters.
In recent tweets Carry says, Video game companies are becoming more money hungry day by day. I was playing the new NBA game which is my fav since three years. To build your character you have to pay around 25-30k to reach a decent level. Just depressing!
Add the cost of a console or PC with the game which costs around 4-5k. Then you have to pay more in-game just to enjoy it. Gaming is a luxury now. I feel bad for the kids that are being exposed to games through this system.
I when I was a kid the games costed a lot but that was a one time purchase & you could enjoy that game for months if not years. Now every game is old after 2 months. At this rate gaming is just going to die cause no parent in their right mind even if they could afford it, would give their kids that much allowance.
Carry Minati stated that gaming is a luxury now, and gaming companies demand more money day by day, from purchasing games to building characters, and not everything a person can afford in the future. Additionally, he pointed out the alarming trend of games becoming outdated within a mere two months, potentially leading to their rapid decline in the future and gaming could die if this continues.
