(+) Yeah! (+)

Why should I have to pay almost (or over) a hundred dollars just to play a specific game? Obviously getting my games legally.

Who are you to challenge our Free Market overlords?!

it sucks that people can't afford medicine because rich people are buying it for its unintended use.

wtf game is over $100 unless it's some super special edition thing that comes with a bunch of physical crap you'll forget about in 2 weeks?

you must be American. Videogames outside of America are super expensive. :C

Skies of Arcadia about 100 on Dreamcast.

Twin Snakes on Gamecube is about the same.

Yeah for real, you guys are lucky. Mad Rat Dead is 7000 here. Fire Emblem games are often 9000. The cheapest new modern games are often 3000. Only ps4 games seems to ever dip below 1000. And thats for bad stuff like Dissidia NT.

I mean with conversion those prices are close to what you'd pay in USD

Most new games, on Switch, are 5000-6000. Only super weeb niche stuff is 9000.

Ps5 games range from 7000-9000. I think Stellar Blade and FF7R are 7000

As an example, Power Blade 2 on NES regularly sells for $700+ for the cartridge only because it was released in small quantities near the end of the system's life and so is rare and sought after by collectors.

And that's not even the worst example. If you want a complete Panzer Dragoon Saga for Saturn you can expect to pay more than a thousand dollars.

Retro game collecting is pretty popular and the number of original copies of games are limited (especially rare/uncommon games) and that drives prices up.

Yeah tbh I didn't read this as a retro game topic, though I guess it should've been implied from the OP.

So glad I do not give a fuck about that.

Yeah, retro game collecting was a lot more fun back in the day when hardly anyone cared about old games and you could get them relatively cheap. It's still like that for some systems (Wii collecting isn't too crazy but it might be getting there) but a lot of it is stupidly expensive now.
