Jeremiah Hisel of Goozernation runs down the benefits and the risks of increased game prices, risks to the consumers and to the game companies themselves, when it will happen, and what it means for future games.

$10 doesn't sound like much, but it sure has some steep implications for consumers. The question of whether or not we'll see $70 games has a simple answer, yes, we will. But what does that mean for consumers and the companies behind the games? The biggest issue is risk. It's risky for a consumer to invest $70 on a game, which means it's risky for a game company to sell a $70 game that many budget-conscious gamers might not be able to afford.
