    Once again I have to remind people that inflation exists. Game prices go up just like everything else and the last few years have seen insane inflation rates and game prices haven’t really climbed since the 90s. $60 in 2019 would be worth $75 today. $60 in 1996 would be worth $122.

      Inflation rises, but wages do not. We’ll pay more when we have the money, and the workers are paid fairly.

      Once again I have to remind particular morons that inflation is a convenient excuse for execs to never take a pay cut, only ever exorbitant raises and bonuses.

      Why do publishers increase the price of games, though? It’s not like the price of the rare components to make games increased.
