minus-squareCaptainEffort@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·6 days agoDepends on if the publisher is scummy or not. BG3 and Elden Ring were $60. Even then tho, this game was $60 back in 2010. Releasing for the same price 14 years later is insane, not even EA would pull that.

minus-squarekinkles@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·5 days agoLast few? I just browsed the front page of the Eshop and there was only one $70 Nintendo title.

minus-squareCaptainEffort@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·6 days agoEh, the inflation argument never moved me for a variety of reasons. But either way, if that’s true then the first part of my comment applies.
minus-squareNarrativeBear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoYup with inflation the $60 would be somewhere between $80-85 dollars equivalent in buying power. So its technically cheaper. $60 today is $40-45, 14 years ago.
