| Dulfite said: $60 in 1996 would be $104 today roughly. Many games were sold for more than $60 in 1996, some as high as $75-80 each in USA. So, $60 today would be at most $35 in 1996. Just for context. |
To be fair though, our pricing expectations have also changed.. You wouldn't get away with selling a game at $104 USD today.
A game release also doesn't exist in a vacuum... They need to release with competition in mind... So you can't go silly with pricing.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a remaster done right, with the right price... And it included THREE games that helped defined the Xbox 360 and the Sci-Fi RPG genre, not just one... Compared to that? Skyward Sword is overpriced and under-featured.
Of course, I bought it anyway... But I will grumble about the Nintendo tax.
