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.

    Has the average industry wage gone up 250%? If not, its not really inflation, just greed.

      Not to mention that the audience for games is MUCH MUCH MUCH larger and the distribution costs in a mostly digital world, where it is difficult to actually own a game, are MUCH MUCH MUCH lower.

      Add to that if you’re playing on PC the hardware is significantly more expensive.
