I’ve been making the same prediction for a long time , but I have a new prediction now.<br><br>There has been a resurgence of great single player games breaking sales records, and maintaining high sales for many months (possibly longer) Publishers and investors are beginning to take notice.  And they DEFINITELY notice that their current monetization schemes are starting to backfire.<br><br>While micro-transactions will certainly continue in multiplayer games, most companies will likely begin to adopt a more consumer friendly model for those games to avoid consumer backlash. <br><br>But when it comes to single player games, publishers are finally beginning to see the benefits of letting developers actually finish and polish a game. EVERYONE has their eyes on CD Projekt Red.  Even greedy publishers are smart enough to know that a return to the old game expansion model might become profitable again, when free content is periodically added to maintain interest in the game while the expansion(s) are being worked on. <br><br>However. I think the price of a triple A video game will increase from $60 to $80.  (I highly doubt they’d stop at $70.) Within a year or two.  (If they’re smart, they’ll make up for it with free content.)
