Zelda was $49.99 when it came out, which is almost $145 today. What are people crying about?

/s?

No, that was the price. Today it would be $150. The $60 price stuck for decades, until DLC became a thing. $80 is not a crazy price in 2025.

I was asking if you were being sarcastic, not if you were being serious about the prices. /s at the end of a comment means the comment is being sarcastic.

Yeah I know champ, and what part could be sarcastic? The fucking numbers? Are numbers rife for sarcasm?

The common joke is that corporate shills will use the fact that games used to cost the equivalent of about $100(give or take) to say it's alright for a brand to raise the price of a game to an uncomfortably high price for current day.

Oh, well then itā€™s good that itā€™s priced at about 55% of the cost of an NES game was 40 years ago.

Iā€™m trying to imagine what a moron you have to be to use a thought terminating cliche like ā€œcorporate shill,ā€ to negate arguments that counter your really bad point. You have to be such a toddler to just paint strangers are your thought enemy because your argument doesnā€™t hold water. You would have been an amazing Nazi accountant.

Wow, that escalated quickly.... You seem like you're a really smart and well adjusted person, just judging by how fast you pulled the Nazi type cards after getting into a minor argument on the internet.

Sorry, did your bullshit argument go off the rails immediately because nominal price increase is EXACTLY how youā€™d determine if this game is overpriced. Itā€™s not, but you canā€™t handle simple reality.

Look, we can sit here all day with me saying $80 is too much for a plumber in a go-kart and you comparing the price of modern games to games from 40 years ago, but I would rather do something like taking a walk, hanging out with people I like, getting groceries, feeding my cats, getting some housework done, and just generally enjoying my life . I hope you have a wonderful day and find something that genuinely brings you joy and helps you improve both the world and yourself even just a tiny bit. :)
