Bragging itp
Its not bragging. Its just my perspective. Paying $50 for NES games when I was in junior high like 38 years ago was expensive to me. Paying like $80 and $90 for Phantasy Star games in the early 90s in high school when I was working part time at a job making $4.65 an hour seemed expensive. Games never went on sale and you were limited in what you could buy to your local store or buying out of the back of a magazine.
Now 35 to 40 years later as a full time working adult, yeah of course I make more money but the fact I pick up all these great games for such great prices is a factor too. Im currently playing AC Valhalla with Ragnarok expansion and Im like 132 hours in and have a ton more to go. I paid $20 for it. I bought stuff like Witcher 3 and Skyrim with all DLC for like $20 and got a couple hundred hours out of each. Even my Farming Simulator game I pay full price for at launch I get thousands of hours out of each title. For $60 the value is incredible.
Gaming might feel expensive to a kid these days sure. But an adult who is near 50 years old and has a full time job comparing it to 35 to 40 years ago? Yeah its cheap to me now. I think my only hobby that is cheaper is reading and buying books.
