Hi. Remember when video games were always $60 and have pretty much never budged since like 1985? It 100% makes sense that there would be a price increase. If anything, there should've been one many years earlier.

Also before we go cherry picking about "complete" games back then, remember there were many more that weren't and still were full price.

And back then, they couldn't be updated. Once the game rolled out, that's what you got.

Plus people are getting much more out of their games today. Back then you’d pay $60 and the game could be beaten in just a few hours.

I remember the force unleashed 2 getting beaten in like 5 hours. That was a massive disappointment for a video game, cool power trip though.

Even the rogue squadron games are super short (like 1 or 2 hours).

Yup that’s how those games were. People are actually getting quite a bit more content now.
