Gaming is expensive. That’s always been true, even if other hobbies could be worse in that regard, but recent years have seen the situation only become more extreme. Enter GameSpot Cheap Week.
All this week, we’ll be publishing assorted features looking at how we got here–why are consoles so expensive, what goes into game pricing–and ways in which you can play more while spending less, be it through mods, libraries, or games that just don’t cost an arm and a leg.
