Neo Geo games were 100+ in the early to mid 90s. Some snes games were 80 bucks (sf2 world warrior on release date).

I already pay $79.99 for a full-priced game so going back to $69.99 might be okay with me.

In Canada?

If so you're basically paying $60 for games in freedom dollars (a bit more + extra sales tax)

Games don't believe inflation exists so it doesn't affect them.

many big games require the $60 game + $30 season pass to get to the full game the creators intended.
