Exactly. That $50 game in 2010 is about $72 in today's money.

I easily spent $300 on Street Fighter II at the arcade over the course of six months. I skipped so many lunches as a kid so I could keep that money and spend it on that game.

A full-price Nintendo game was $60, or about $123 in today's money Pretty much every game is sold for $70 or less in today's money

That's my point. Comparatively, gaming was more expensive when we were younger.

I was always into match-based PC multi-player games and they are even free nowadays.
