Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I’ve seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It’s always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it’s been a thing.
Even more dumb is that sales are stupidly frequent so why even bother trying to pay $70 anyways besides FOMO.
Most new games were $40-50 IIRC. A few high demand would be more.
There was a day before games came on a CD. You remember the good old floppy disk? Yeah, Walmart had brand new games that fit on a single floppy disk for $5.
