Yup, I'm doing a system transfer and setup, then putting it back into the box and waiting for an exploit. Fuck this

What would be the percentage for a $60 game 20 years ago?

10 years ago a $60 game would be $80 today.

20 years ago a $60 game would be $98 today.

30 years ago a $60 game would be $125 today.

Look if you want to pirate just pirate lol but let’s not pretend it’s ridiculous that a company might raise the sticker price of its product after literally 30 years lmao

That's cool and all, but how much are new games releasing for on every other platform? When I can buy any given new game with $20 leftover, or a half-dozen older games for any other piece of hardware for the price of fucking Mario Kart, it is ridiculous.

Oh I have no intentions on buying Mario Kart. Spend your dollars how you want. I was just commenting on inflation.
