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.

    What? Just because you found 1 game at 70 dollars back in the 90s doesn’t mean that it’s a fair price for games?

    Even now with tons of inflation since 1990 it’s a ridiculous price and reserved only for top tier games that everyone wants to buy, like Baldurs Gate.
