Yeah your average video game costs like $120 + tip nowadays. That complaint checks out. Of course luckily the games that charge that are full of niggers and faggots and "women" and obese wahmen, and you should be the one getting paid to "play" that sjw rubbish.

Video game prices have been surprisingly stable, showing no real increase in price since the 80s. That's wage stagnation, vidya prices have gone down compared to real inflation.
But anyone paying for vidya deserves to lose their money. Anyone who doesn't know how to pirate by now is a complete retard. All the good games are 10+years old anyway. There's at least a lifetime's worth of games better than anything released in the last ten years. Why pay more for an inferior product?

Attila Total War is $10 cdn right now on Steam's summer sale
Shooterspool is nice and there's a free version and a paid version.

https://www.shooterspool.net

It teaches you so much about the proper way to play that a lot of competitive pool players train with it.

videogames have to be one of the lowest inflating goods ever. sonic 3, sonic & knuckles, etc. were all $60 on release back in the 90s, check any old toys r us ad. New games are what now, $60-80, with only weird exclusive collectors editions fetching more?

Steam's sales are still a thing? Stopped caring after it became pure slop to push the platform's monetization even further, no longer fun activities to be found but plain random cards and emojis, fuck that shit. Curiously at the same time I realize the stupidity of spending loads on cheap slop I'd never play.

Correct, but every similar thread or topic has the same vidiya junkies furiously fluffing their dealers.

I haven't paid full price for a video game since i bought Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast from an EB in Queensland circa 2001.

New games suck but if you must play them, you can wait like 3 months and get them for a fraction of the price.

Even that has changed, unless we're talking about 9/10 being a fraction or the game being so bad it isn't worth buying

That’s because capitalism is inherently deflationary, that’s what line go up means, an economy that grows at 2% a year is an economy that deflates at 2% a year. In the so called robber baron era prices went down for 30 years. Prices are sticky of course and so going down is the last thing they will do but before that they will improve in quality. That’s what people don’t understand, shrinkflation comes long before inflation, before the prices went up at the store they reduced the amount of food in the bag, used cheaper ingredients, switched to cheaper contractors and laid off workers, inflation is the degradation and destruction of society as a whole and without it will we get back to the good old days when products were hard and functional and high quality.
