@icedquinn I think that's true for some products. But I know too many people that used to buy games on release or full price, that now see $30 as an expensive game.

Games are getting worse because people aren't willing to pay a similar price with inflation, so devs are making less

At a game studio where I live, devs have gone from being paid 27 an hour, to 22 over 5 years, citing that people think their $25 game is too expensive

It's pretty shitty out there. Back in the golden Era, video games paid well enough to attract talent. Not it's just a bunch of C++ code monkeys
