I know that Diablo isn’t a Capcom game, but if industry leaders are looking at $90 games with battle passes and in game purchases for $20 horse armor is “too low”, then we are truly fucked.

Games in the 90’s were almost the equivalent of $100 today. They seemed better, though, and people seem to play them longer, but that’s all probably just rose-tinted glasses

but maybe 100k people bought the big ones then, now a AAA title can sell millions or tens of millions of copies

oh I agree, but I still feel like games are a bargain in dollar for dollar entertainment these days.
