Realistically, we're all getting -blam!-ed sideways in one way or another. Insomniac is releasing an Xbox One exclusive. Tomb Raider is a 1-year Xbox One exclusive. And Microsoft is likely on the hunt for more deals like this. Sony's paying for exclusive content in a bunch of games because they want to win by a landslide. Pre-order bonuses are entirely out of control across the board. And even GameStop's investing in exclusive content -blam!-ery during game development. Luckily, if you do inflation math, videogames are cheaper than they have been in a long while. Can't we all just hold hands and sing kumbaya while these corporations bend us over and take our $20 one thrust at a time? That got graphic. Sorry, everyone.
