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
Wages haven't gone up enough, plus, the minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009, even if the standard isn't to raise the minimum wage, you shouldnt be able to get away with paying that little in today's economic climate
I don't disagree that the minimum wage needs to go up, but literally nobody is paying minimum wage and hasn't for a long time... I knew people 10-15 years ago starting at $11/hr as cashiers and making 12-13 within a year of starting.

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.
