[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children) $50 today is equivalent to about $28.50 19 years ago. So it's effectively half price lmao permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 21 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Except wages didn't increase that much, and price changes drive inflation, not the other way around. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago Feels like we're dancing around the topic of purchasing power collapse so it might as well be said - this is a bread and circuses issue at heart. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) I meant it's "'only' $50" because it's an entire overhaul of the original game, rebuilt from the ground up. Similar to how Skyblivion is gonna be. Like, that's a damn good price for one of the best RPGs ever made, with the amount of work that went into it this time around too. I'm not complaining about paying that for such a great game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) Clair Obscur (a gorgeous, new game) is 50 bucks.

Nowhere in my comments did I say otherwise, or even imply it.
