      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.

      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.

          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.
