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.

    Oh yeah, I know there were plenty of bigger, better, more expensive games pretty much all along. Still, I loved that $5 section at Walmart, I’d buy a new game almost every week when I was around 13 years old.
