Reply to comment by thewalkindude in Why all the 70$ price tags now? by Valgonav

Yeah. Production teams are a lot bigger now. Everything from voice actors to 3D modelers. Costs to make games are far higher now than back in the SNES days, and yet games are still about roughly the same price.

If you factor in inflation, games are actually cheaper than they were in the past.

Yeah for sure. I remember Chrono Trigger came out back in the 90s and that game was over $70 at release. That’d probably be around $90 today.
