I find it odd that people think games can just cost $60 forever, this is what we paid in the 90s for games, like at some point they were bound to raise with inflation. Did people expect to still be paying $60 in 2045 too?
Yeah, tbh I was upset then I thought about this too, when I was like, a wee lad (I'm 21 now) the 360 games were like 60 dollars. We've had a recession and a whole plague outbreak but the price has only went up very recently. I don't think there would be any outrage about the price if wages also went up and people's basic needs were covered for
I just think the outrage is misplaced, like the economy is somehow Nintendo's fault.
Shit, in high school I could get a beefy 5 layer burrito at Taco bell for a buck, that shit costs like 4x as much now but I don't blame Taco Bell specifically for that.
Nintendo's getting a lot of blame here because of console war mentality that doesn't exist for many other markets. Like, there are no Del Taco fanboys to make memes like this about Taco Bell, no Walmart defenders who meme when the price of something at target rises, etc.

I don’t have a problem with a higher price, although 80 bucks is quite a bit. I have a problem with salaries not going up as well.
