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.
think about how amny more copies they sell of games now, how many more dlc's/subscription services liek online are included now.
these companies are making WAAAAAAAAY more money in current times even adjusting for inflation, gaming was a very expensive hobby in the 90's, if u were a kid then like me u maybe had 3 or 4 games u got a year if u were in a well off family. now kids have 50 games on their ipad a month that make all the money from ads and in game currency.
if u wanna use the inflation argument pls think about more than the direct price comparisons because it isnt nearly that simple and all ur doing is giving greedy people and excuse to take more of ur money for no reason.
