Alright you want facts? Let's see how well your games sell if prices go up all around. I hope devs like making no money unless it's a popular franchise.

The implication here (higher prices than we currently have would equate to lower sales) is verifiably false.

Even the more expensive games of the time sold very briskly. Super Nintendo games - which sold better than Gensis games - were more expensive still.

Games back then didn't cost shit compared to now so that entire article is crap.

This is also verifiably false. Games were more expensive in terms of absolute dollar value - 40 bucks was considered heavily discounted - and in terms of inflation the cost is higher still. Super Nintendo games ha an MSRP of 70 dollars, which is higher still - over a hundred in today's US dollar.

You are wrong, objectively and certifiably. Move on.
