Just because you would pay more for something doesn't mean it's worth what you payed for. I can easily think of every NES and SNES and N64 etc game that has ever existed that I can download now for free. I bought plenty of VC games at full price knowing they are worth pennies, if that. Like I said in this thread, I don't believe in protest spending, so I'm not going to not buy and enjoy what I want when I can afford it just because I don't think it's worth the asking price. But it definitely is not worth the asking price, which is fine. $20 a year is fine. It's much better than $5 for SMB or $8 for SMW like before. And the idea that my digital claim is merely my assumption is silly. These are 20-30 year old games in a marketplace where they are all easily available for free and there is an infinite supply of them. In what realm of existence would the value not be driven down to pennies if not worthlessness? There are 10 year old AAA games being sold in bundles for $1 in this market place literally every month, but games 2-3 times older wouldn't be worth exponentially less? Come on. |
Just because you can turn to piracy it doesn't negate the value of a game I even used your own logic to highlight the point I made, hosting digital content is also not free and never was, many 10 year old AAA games like COD and such get newer versions frequently that aren't different from the previous hence they drop in price heavily. If you're arguing age in correlation to price and quality you're misguided as value is heavily determined by the perceived quality of the product with many that people consider more timeless retaining higher prices over time and some even increasing.
It's no one else's problem if you choose to continue buying them begrudgingly that's on your own head.
