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.

      Yes they were. Nintendo cartridges could be 120-150 gulden at release. That’s 55-70 euro, not even counting inflation. PC games were usually cheaper though.

        Can confirm as fellow Dutch. Nintendo cartridges were very expensive.
