Haha!

If they're any good, that's probably going to fuck with the mainstream market and their dicking around with the new game prices.

It's been a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time since I bought a new game. We're talking late-stage PS2 era, which was probably a year or two after the PS3/XBOX 360 era began, or around mid-to late aughts.

The last game I bought was Final Fantasy XII. I know I didn't pay a dime over $50 for it.

Now I know that nearly 20 years have passed, and that we had 4 terrible years of inflation with the pudding brain auto-pen for President... and I realize that after 20 years with 2% inflation the amount you should expect to pay is double what it once was... but I had no idea that games were already coming out new at $80 now and the struggling AAA studios are talking about raising that to $100 or even $110 now.

Even if one could argue that due to inflation we should be seeing something close to those prices in 2025, hitting triple digits for a new video game is a huge mental hurdle to cross. Especially when the economy has been so shaky since Joe Biden* and the democrats ruined it.

Wages just haven't kept up at all with inflation, and asking people to spend over $100 on a leisure activity is a big ask right now. Especially when there's so much other stuff to play out there from old retro games to a ton of great indie titles that you can get on the cheap.

This is Miyamoto. I am pleased to announce that for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason-san, and Link by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san. I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen. (1/2)
