Barely anything compared to the profits reaped from sale of software. The entire tech industry is kiked to the core, and it's no coincidence that prices have skyrocketed ever since everything in modern society became dependent on (((apps))) to function.

They sold us the big lie that technology would increase efficiency and reduce prices. The reality is that Big Tech has increased prices while reducing wages for human employees.

>>513907705
they're not always profitable
so many triple A failures recently
it is the fault of the studios of course
but they take a risk and invest capital in it
the reason it didn't inflate as other goods in price is because the customer base grew in orders of magnitude faster compared to development cost combined with it becoming purely digital

Games take exponentially more time and resources to make now, retard.

Being distributed online doesn't change the fact that all those people need to be paid for their work.

I live in a spot with brutally high CoL and it's not even that bad here. Who has to pay that? pretty fucked

I'll explain it!

Back in 1990, they had to build an entire custom chip for each game. Look at this fucker. So much work went into this. It's incredibly durable as well. You could rent out this cartridge. Hundreds of SNES could play this game from a Blockbuster...

The creator also had to make a manual too. Usually printed in color to feel like a premium product.

Finally, the creators had to multiply this creation process, create a colored box, shrink wrap it, send it to distributors, fly it across the world, truck it to each Frys, EB Games, Toys-R-Us, and have an employee display it.

They did this for $50. Now all you do is click buy and download it, for $70. They don't have to make SHIT anymore. No shipping, no employees working, NOTHING. Then you pay for it? Games should be dirt fucking cheap. Infinite replication at the cost of pennies in electricity... that you pay for already, and internet... that you pay for already.

The devaluation of the dollar started before mass immigration. In some ways, an influx of consumers is a way to create demand to compensate for the increased supply of and devaluation of dollars.

Don't confuse the chicken for the egg. Mass immigration is a way to delay the side effects of jewish central banking. If there was no jewish central banking then there would be no inflation and then no mass immigration.

The root cause is jewish central banking.

False. It happened multiple times in your nation's history, but in modern times inflation really took off when the US dollar was depegged from gold. Retard.

Japan does shit like that because their farmers are octogenarians and they're trying to maintain as much food autonomy as possible; it won't necessarily be at all economically viable anywhere else and probably already isn't viable without subsidies IN Japan

Larry Fink is jewish, and so are you.

Games are too big now. It took me months to 100% Mario odyssey, breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. It’s a little excessive. Not every game needs to be an epic open world adventure but they’ve set the bar so high for themselves now. In short I don’t know how they make games so cheap.

in 1990 every silent generation grandma had her own meat grinder and could make her own hamburger.

in 2025 not a single zoomer knows how to make their own microwave cup noodles, much less how to grind meat, so the grocery jew can charge you a bajillion dollars for their goyslop meat and know the stupid goyim will buy it because they lost the technology of grinding their own burgers.

>>513906729 (OP)
Technological improvement has made the price of consumer electronics plummet. An arduino or raspberryPi microcomputer costs $30, but would have been worth over a million dollars in 1990.

However, meat does not benefit as much from technology.

>>513910105
Why are you posting like a 12 year old shit stain.

>>513910301
No it's literally just jewish central banking. Supply and demand as you imply cannot exist when the dollar is not backed by anything other than interest rates, which is manipulated by the FED aka jewish central bankers. Food should get cheaper over time like everything else as technology makes production more efficient.

The housing crisis is caused by ZIRP.

In Poland, we had the population shrink by 10% between 2010-2019 and the housing supply expanded by 40%. But interest rates were negative in real terms and, as such, the price of housing almost doubled in that period.

Immigration is an aggravating factor, but the Poland example proves that the price of housing rises while the population shrinks and supply of houses expands. It's also indirectly proven by how many houses stand vacant in the midst of a "housing crisis".

Wet streets do not cause rain. Shitskins are the wet streets. Negative interest rates are the rain.

That's easy. Software does not have inherent production value in the same sense as food. You make the game once then produce infinite copies. Game companies just decided to keep decreasing their profit because sales routinely go above and beyond the labor costs. With food there's always a limited amount that can be produced at a time and the food goes bad. Scarcity increases value. Also lots of tangible resources went into the production of the food such as land and animal feed.

you dont know true suffering

>>513910638
Food did get cheaper over time, in real terms. So in comparison to gold. However, the quality of food has also dropped. So it's difficult to compare.

Consumer electronics have just gotten cheaper faster. In the early 2000s, a 40 inch plasma TV would have cost 10oz of gold. Nowadays it costs maybe 0.2oz for a higher quality television with the same parameters.

Technological progress obscures inflation. Especially in consumer electronics.

>>513906729 (OP)

There were shortages of food, but the food was of higher quality yes. There were no modern pesticides or herbicides, no factory farms injecting cattle with growth hormones. Which meant a less bountiful harvest, but no cancer-causing additives in your food.

It's not about nominal interest rates. It's about interest rates in real terms. Nominal interest rates tell you nothing.

If nominal interest rates are 9000%, but inflation is 9001%, then you have negative interest rates in real terms.

Inflation went absolutely bonkers after 1971. Concurrently, the long term trend for interest rates is only downwards.

This. Also the Yen was very strong compared to the USD from late 1990 through 1998. It pretty much killed off Japanese manufacturers investing in making new affordable sporty cars in the 2000's since they couldn't justify the costs anymore for their low volume.
If the exchange rate was what it was in the 80's those games prob would have cost like $15 less. The gaming market was tiny back then compared to now and the cost per unit of game now, regardless of distribution method, is practically free. If the gaming market was the exact same size and we had games with their current budgets they'd be like $250 games or something, but we wouldn't because they'd be terrified of people pirating a 1/4 grand game lel

AND it's not complete. It can have bugs and glitches that can break the game or even brick your console if they really don't care about it.

>Nah, it definitely cost a lot more... cartridges never dipped below $60.
I remember Final Fantasy III, which was released in America in late 1994, retailed for $70 to $80 per cartridge.

in today's money, that's roughly $124
>donkey kong bananza in 2025 for $70
this still shouldn't cost this much but years of the game industry selling deluxe editions for $70+ primed the industry to make that the base price. moving to digital sales keeps all the money in nintendo's pocket while killing the used game market

Yup, 32 meg SNES games were typically $70-$80. Toys R Us was a total rip off, so was Sears. KB Toys had the best prices in my neck of the woods.

Prices dropped a lot with CDs

>>513906729 (OP)
A video game's main cost is in development, while ground beef's main cost is in distribution.

Even if you're using physical copies, video games don't degrade quickly in storage or require freezers or anything like that.

I've seen old episodes of The Price Is Right from the early 80s where Nissin ramen noodles were $0.31. Walmart now has them for only $0.27. Explain that.

On the right, we see something people actually need to survive. High value.

On the left, we see a toy for babies, entirely unnecessary. No value to anyone over the age of 12, unless they are a parent.

Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy were god tier RPGs, among the greatest of classic JRPG series of the 90s.
Phantasy Star 4 was phenomenal.

It's no lie. Premium ground beef in my area is $10 per pound, while the 85% lean is $7 per pound or a bit more (upper midwest).

Those were premium games, longform RPGs, that needed a lot of storage capacity for the standards of the day (and they were, and have remained, true classics and phenomenal games).
I want to go back!

DLC is the worst

Pstar 1 is also really good.
IV is a masterpiece but a bit too linear for my taste

>>513922077
I was the only one with a Genesis, everyone had a SNES and Zelda, and Chrono Trigger and FF3, at least I had fucking bars with bunny girls dancing, space ships, other dimension, cyborgs, orphan planet and catgirls.

Oh yes, Phantasy Star 1 is a total classic too, a super important and influential early RPG, just like Final Fantasy 1 and Dragon Quest).

>>513922809
I was lucky enough to have both SNES and Genesis, along with all the classic JRPGs of the 90s (and later, the 2000s), and all sorts of other games from other genres (Castlevania, Zelda, Mario, on and on and on).
And yet, we found copious amounts of time for playing outside in the nearby overgrown fields full of trees!
Fun times!

This is the antithesis of capitalism but you know some limp wristed faggot will say it is a failure of capitalism and more government control is the answer.

HappyConsoleGamer on YouTube has awesome gaming memories from bygone eras (beginning in the mid 80s) and his favorite game ever, which changed his life, was Phantasy Star 1.

Not to mention there was no Unity or Unreal Engine in 1990. There were no asset stores with pre-made models and multi-terabyte texture libraries and pre-composed music sorted by genre and "vibe" none of that shit. You had a couple of guys with (at best) 386s or 68ks, maybe a single SGI in the office somewhere and a deadline of a year or two max. You had to think carefully about the hardware you had and not just get your game to run on it, but run well. Modern "devs" do not deserve a premium for what little they do.

>>513923865
I wonder how it'll turn out for them. I mean everyone is already so squeezed as it is.

>>513908897
Videogames then also had sub 100 employees making a bangers with 1-2 year production time vs 100s of people working on a shitslop AAA game with 4+ year dev times and 10-16 hrs runtimes. the money has to be raised just to make profits.

Video games were expensive as fuck to produce in the early 90s because of SRAM costs, you mong. Also cartridges.

People didn't lose their shit over a little bit of edginess back then. However looking back on it, the whole point was to lubricate society for the dildo of dysfunction.

$50 in 1990 is $120-125 today. Video games are cheaper nowadays.

>>513906729 (OP)
Inflation means the fed stole half your money's value. It's still $1 but it's worth a penny

n the 1930s, a pound of ground beef typically cost around 11 to 29 cents,
