I'm still flabbergasted we've arrived at games costing 100€ now. Not some collector's edition, just the normal game. On a console that'll set you back 500€ on its own, not to mention the service subscriptions. Even the god damn next-gen improvements for existing games supported through backwards compat now cost a 2-digit sum. What's next, subscriptions for device features (which you already paid big money for) to work like it's a freaking BMW? It's just utter insanity, and people are still paying for all that shit.
Did you expect them to keep 1990s pricing forever?
My copy of teenage mutant ninja turtles tournament fighters for the NES was 50 bucks in 1994.
That’s a $50 price tag for a “previous generation” console.
Inflation adjusted that's $111
Inflation adjusted it's apparently (less than) $30, because that's one of 13 games in the Cowabunga Collection.
My mom was like “you gotta be fucking kidding me” lol
