Video games have always cost the same, even back in the 90s big budget games cost $60. But $60 in 1990 is $148.73 today. So video games have in fact only gotten cheaper over the years.

    Fair, but cartridges cost real money to produce. Disks cost pennies. Publishers used to do much cheaper “collection edition” when a popular game was reprinted after the initial run, but that doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore.

    Digital distribution is free, but there are frequent sales at least (except Nintendo)
