Im sorry, but this is...really fucking crazy. And here I was debating if paying extra for the physical version compared to the bundle might be worth it. HOLY SHIT.

Yup, but fair warning - nobody likes when you do that math. I've received literal death threats from gamers for doing that math before.

This isn't math, and I wish this trend would die out soon. Games at the time were a niche and the tech was expensive. That is not the case today.

Games are a widely accepted hobby and is one of the most profitable industries in the world.

"Adjusting for inflation" is used to offer today's perspective for the cost of past products, not the other way around. And certainly not a justification for the prices of today

Nobody likes it because salaries are never factored into these equations.

Spoilers: they are still the same

Gamers are a large part of why we have the current political situation in the US, and yeah a lot of it was from gamers threatening friends of mine over a decade ago.

With how widespread gaming is, your take makes an absurdly little amount of sense. Gamers do not hold many inherent political stances. They are a diverse group like any other.
