TYRONE GA!
Again.

You invest $60 into something. 20 years later you still got that same $60 did you lose or gain money?
That's not what this is about. But to entertain you, gaining and losing money is not the same as purchase power. Two different subjects. I gained nothing in your scenario. But even if I earn 10 bucks after 20 years that is still profit. That however doesn't mean that the purchasing power remained steady if that money earned doesn't outpace inflation

Whole point again is games today are cheaper in price than they were 20 to 30 years ago relative to inflation. That's it.

It’s not. Because money is worth less over time. You used to be able to get a Mcdonald’s cheeseburger for 25 cent. Today it cost $3.

If u invested that 25c back then and pull it out now, you no longer can afford a cheeseburger.

It’s the same for devs the $60 games cost today is much less value than it was in 1995.

That’s WTF i said, games are cheaper now than ever before

Depends on what those earning calls look like. You seeing record profits yet complaining about the price of games being too low? Smells like corpo bullshyt.

Street fighter was $60 in 1994

Today that would be $125.

Games and gaming is the cheapest it’s ever been. Lots of you lack proper perspective.
I remember my pops bought me Phantasy Star 4 back in 95 that shyt was 99$ retail! Y’all nikkas don’t know shyt about prices if you’re complaining

True but fukk em.

They the pioneers of expensive ass games.

Fully expect 80 dollar games next gen though for AAA games. And that's still cheaper than that the price of their SNES games. :mjcry:
SNES game never went on sale either.
