Finally I’m seeing someone giving proof that games were more expensive back in the days.

Of course the gaming market was smaller, but I remember my parents buying me shitty games for a really high price.

I’m not asking for a price increase, but clearly games were more expensive in the 80-90-00s.

Exactly. And the trend is downward, and that includes this $80 price point. Prices will likely stay flat for the Switch 2 generation, so by the end it’ll be below the current $70 price point in inflation adjusted dollars.

Yeah, it sucks, and I get that. I wish games were cheaper too. But that doesn’t mean $80 is unreasonable.
