I haven't bought a full priced game since $50 was the norm for day 1 releases and on disc DLC did not exist.

>>724105195 (OP)
Wow, are they really that expensive?

i'm sorry to hear that anon. hope you're doing better now.

$70 games have been normal for a long time, and they're even more expensive because they remove content to pack it on "Deluxe Editions". If you really want to play that game on Day 1, pay up chump, otherwise wait for a sale or pirate.

Old games cost $100+ in today's money

Life was so much more soulful in the 80s and 90s its literally undeniable

>>724105195 (OP)
If a game is $70 I just wait until its super cheap and buy it off a key reseller so the publish/dev gets nothing.

>>724112460
Imagine paying 80 for a fucking pacman lmao.

>zoomie doens't remember when games were $70-80 dollars... in 90s money when a whopper was still 99 cents not $8 )
Oh sweet summer child...

>>724105195 (OP)
I just won't buy 'em.

>>724112460
now lets see it without the fake prices

>>724105195 (OP)
I'd pay that if games were good. But AAA is gay and lame now, and you don't really need to pay that much for indies and AA games, aka the only ones that have a chance of being worth a shit to play.

me waiting 4+ years until current game is on sale for 20 bucks on steam

Where have you been the last 5 years?
$70 + day one DLC tip has been the norm for years now

>>724105195 (OP)
I buy maybe one $50-$70 game a year, and the other twenty for less than $20. More often than not I enjoy the cheap games far more.

>>724105195 (OP)
Are you not enjoying raegenomics? You can sip the trickle by buying last gen games at gamesto- oh wait, sorry, I guess you are screwed in this dystopian digital age. Get used to shining billionaire shoes and mopping data center floors.

>>724105195 (OP)
I just think $60 games are neat

>>724105195 (OP)
Get a job, retard.

70 bucks + 10% tax, so 77 bucks for street fighter. Guess what was a $1 back then? Whoppers from Burger King. Guess how much whoppers are now? $8. So Street Fighter Alpha cost 77 whoppers, but now games only cost like 7 whoppers. Modern games are astronomically cheaper yet zoomies are still bitching.

Only paying customers suffered. We can always just share our daily 5 activations with each other. Consolekeks are dead.

It is without irony that I say that I don't think I've truly enjoyed a single game that cost more than $40 in the past 5 years other than Elden Ring. I buy less and less of them as time goes on.

>>724119291
>>724120934
We're talking about games, idiot. Because the move to disc meant no more custom chips, the price went down to $40 at the time. Furthermore, games go frequently on sale, so we don't pay the full price, especially on Steam. You will never successfully shill. Why are you sperging so hard if you got nothing to gain? We will never pay what you want.

>>724119291
Reminder Toys R Us marked up all their products to be more expensive than MSRP because they basically held the toy monopoly.

>>724112425
It doesn't work because we're not the multi-billion-dollar companies. It's more like "You won't pay $70 instead of $60! Well starve."

How is -$10 dollars compared to before that big of a deal?

>>724105195 (OP)
Not my problem.

>>724121438
Especially $10 in a world where $10 barely pays for a fucking hamburger.

>>724121508
Adjusted for inflation is $49

>>724121931
Yeah but since video games are mostly digital distribution these days, meaning a single copy has no unit cost, AND the market is several times larger than it was when monkey island came out, directly adjusting for inflation makes no sense.
3 copies sold for $20 is better than 1 copy sold for $50 because you're making $60 instead of $50. This is a unique benefit of digital goods.

One indie game
