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.

    Sure, for $5 you could get some old games from the bargain table, but some people like to play them when they’re new.

      One of my favorite memories is my mum taking me and my brother to a toy shop that sold games after we finished the school year and getting second hand games. Every year my mum did this for us and we’d usually get like 2 for the price of 1. We didn’t have a lot of money so new games were only got on Xmas.
