I just looked it up, and I’m surprised to say that Spider-Man 2 (just released on PC back in February I believe) is still only $60. I mean, sure it’s over a year old from it’s original PS5 release, but the fact they’re not asking $80 for it is kinda nice.
The PS5 version was actually ported to PC a full year before the official PC release by a bunch of Brazilians. In many ways with was even better than the official release. Only downside is that it didn’t have ray tracing. But if you don’t care about that then it was worth playing.
Of course this has nothing to do with your point, just saying.
I meant it’s “‘only’ $50” because it’s an entire overhaul of the original game, rebuilt from the ground up. Similar to how Skyblivion is gonna be.
Like, that’s a damn good price for one of the best RPGs ever made, with the amount of work that went into it this time around too. I’m not complaining about paying that for such a great game.

And Oblivion Remastered is “only” $50.

$50 today is equivalent to about $28.50 19 years ago. So it’s effectively half price lmao
Except wages didn’t increase that much, and price changes drive inflation, not the other way around.
Feels like we’re dancing around the topic of purchasing power collapse so it might as well be said - this is a bread and circuses issue at heart.

Clair Obscur (a gorgeous, new game) is 50 bucks. I rest my case.
I mean sure, plenty of new games can still look great and be relatively affordable. Nowhere in my comments did I say otherwise, or even imply it.
I really feel like people are jumping on these comments because I dared to say a couple recent games aren’t selling at $80.
Oblivion? One of the best RPGs ever made? This is a joke, right? It’s not even the best Bethesda game.

I had to let the point slide, never argue matters of taste with people who eat shit
