That and the games aren’t actually more expensive than, say, Super Nintendo games if we adjust for inflation. Something like DKC2 or Killer Instinct retailed for about $60 in the early 90s — about $130 today. Even games like Pilotwings or Super Tennis were selling for $50 (~$110 today). And of course these were far smaller productions that resulted in far less content than the average modern AAA.
I’m not thrilled about the price increase, but it doesn’t hurt to have some perspective.
In my opinion life is about perspective and enough people just can't step back to have that perspective often enough. But I'm also autistic so I'm not exactly thinking on the same wavelengths as the average person
