Now if only pay increased with inflation we'd be comparing apples to apples.

@voxthefox@lemmy.world oh yeah. Compared to buying power would be interesting for sure.

@stefan@gardenstate.social Now compare the average PC. Why buy a console that only runs games and not a PC that runs games and the rest of your life?

The console pricing isn't the problem, I haven't seen anyone complain about that.

@KingJalopy@lemm.ee ah yeah. Though I've never put in old game prices in to inflation calculators and been happy about it.

Keep in mind that, back in the day, sales were also 100% physical to a much, much smaller audience.
With digital, they've cut out absolutely massive portions of the cost while also reaching 10-100x as many people basically for free.
