    Multiply those prices by 2 to account for buying power back then.

    Console is “only $300” but games are $100 at minimum.

      Which is why looking at some of those games I kind of get why games need to charge more. Definitely not keeping up with inflation. However, I also see a much broader range in those games, and if they want game prices to go up then they also need to understand price ranges for quality.

      Something like RDR2, true masterpiece, I would go to 100. Maybe 120. That game is perfect, no flaws, and several hundred hours of gameplay.

      Assassin’s creed could stick at 60. Very much a mid game, gets a mid price.
