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.

    …That’s because maybe you got them used or something? Like, name me one retail store back then selling games for $5 just out of the blue. I won’t wait because you wouldn’t come up with anything.

    You are mixing used markets with retail prices here. Just stop embarrassing yourself.

      Walmart homie. Brand new games.

      I’m referring to smaller games that came on a single floppy disk. Remember those?
