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

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.

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.

Back in the late 80s NES games were going for $50. Imagine paying that much for most games that could be beaten in under 2 or 3 hours.

Just think back when NES games came out. They were like $50 and you could beat most of them in under 2 or 3 hours. You get way more for your money now, no question.

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.
