Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I've seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It's always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it's been a thing.

Even more dumb is that sales are stupidly frequent so why even bother trying to pay $70 anyways besides FOMO.

If $70 got you the full game, I wouldn't even be as opposed to it, but it's always $70 for the standard edition and oh, also, there's $200+ worth of DLC and microtransactions to buy, as well. Back in the 90s, you got everything for that price.

    Were games $70 in the 90s? I feel like they were like $40. $60 at the most.
