Not so much defense, more like "uhh, yeah, things cost money, inflation exists, welcome to the real world", and I can't disagree honestly. People gotta use an inflation calculator on old games.
This meme does have real "too late, I drew you as the soy cuck and myself as the chad!" energy.
Exactly. People act as if "Retail price at launch for major AAA flagship game" is the ONLY price. That's absurd.
That *USED* to the case. Just look at any catalog or whatever from the 80s and early 90s and you'll see that virtually all games were 35-70 dollars. Anything other than that was piracy. Of course, this was because the market was in its infancy.
"Just wait 6 months or a year and it'll be at least 50% off" is the norm these days for *MOST* games. In the past that was incomprehensible.
Math isn't opinion-based. OVERALL... as a hobby... gaming has never been cheaper.
