minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 days agoI am betting, adjusted for inflation, that would not be especially higher than a new NES game. It might even be cheaper.
minus-squaredantheclamman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoThat’s definitely true. Didn’t think about inflation. I still think $70 is a lot more than the many other ways to play, including inexpensive older games, Steam sales, Epic/Amazon giveaways, etc, all of which have “good enough” graphics for me
minus-squareDariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 days agoYeah I’m always surprised when people are complaining about the cost to buy (not to produce) a game nowadays. Where I live, games are way cheaper than they used to be during the Playstation 1 Era and it’s now really easy to buy used games online. Of course if you buy every season pass or special skin for they used to game, it ends up more expensive.
