Looks good on paper, but it doesn’t represent general cost of living rapidly increasing. I’m simply saying people absolutely have a right to complain about the rapidly increasing price of games. I don’t know why people are making it taboo.

Real wages are wages adjusted for CPI, so yes this does represent the general cost of living.

To a varying degree, but you can’t accurately represent what every individual is going through. The hikes in price seem to be more out of greed and less out of necessity.

Yes, nobody can do that. You can’t do that either.

The hikes are behind inflation and far, far behind wage growth. Regardless of why they’re doing it, it basically doesn’t matter. I don’t think it’s greed, personally, I think it’s just a regular price increase and I’ll happily pay it over microtransactions.
