Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I’ve seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It’s always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it’s been a thing.
Even more dumb is that sales are stupidly frequent so why even bother trying to pay $70 anyways besides FOMO.
One of my favorite memories is my mum taking me and my brother to a toy shop that sold games after we finished the school year and getting second hand games. Every year my mum did this for us and we’d usually get like 2 for the price of 1. We didn’t have a lot of money so new games were only got on Xmas.
