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.

Also, comparatively, it’s still one of the cheapest forms of entertainment. You buy a movie ticket and it costs you $25-30 for an hour or two of entertainment. I bought BG3 for $80 and have 400 hours on it (so far) and will very much have more on it. That averages out to 20 cents for an hour of entertainment. Even factoring in a need for a console, $400-500 spread out over thousands of hours ends up being a cheap investment.

I’m not defending Nintendo, they do lots of shady stuff and their controllers are shittily made these days. But the price of games these days isn’t entirely outrageous.

Yeah I imagine myself breaking 100 hours in Mario Kart, as far as I'm concerned $80 is a steal 🤷

I buy like 3 games a year at this point so i'm in the same boat. The games i buy are games that i usually get 100+ hours out of anyway
