I never (or at least rarely) buy ps4/5 games day 1.  Give it 6 months after launch and most games are half price anyway.  I end up spending more on Switch games as a result of prices staying at MSRP.

Back in 2016 - 2019 I bought most games 60$, I might be low on cash these days. But 70$ is not that bad. You guys should check N64 launch games they were 80$ -100$ before gonna down to 60$ I bought Shadows of the Empire for 85$. Don't get me started on SNES I remember I think Mario ALL stars being 150$ + tax on SNES and several 100$ SNES games Though I did approach discount aisle too I bought Mickey Magical adventure for 20$ brand new. and bought Super Scope 6 game Battleclash for 1$ brand new . Modern games are not as cheap as 1$ or as expensive as 150$ for base version unless you buying collectors edition. Modern gamers wouldn't last in 4th Generation SNES prices I think?

We do have those special editions for 100+ but those likely sell very little.

And I do remember in Genesis gen myself being able to buy only 1 or 2 games a year, used and very old still needing to use all the money I received on Xmas and Bday. New games were really out of range for me.
