I’m glad at least one person in this thread knows how inflation works. However, as I’ve recently researched, games started costing $60 in 2005, which lands us at 90$ in today’s money.
Wages were also comparatively higher in the 1990s. Prices go up, but wages don’t keep pace. Simply converting the currency doesn’t tell the whole story.
$60 in the 1990s would be like $120 today. $80 is cheap by comparison

That would be fine if wages had kept up with inflation. They have not, at all.
I don’t think it’s a game publisher’s problem if you haven’t had a raise in 20 years.
