I FUCKING CALLED IT. 90 DOLLARS FOR THE "PHYSICAL" VERSION INCOMING

@Goalkeeper >erm but games are cheaper than ev-
Games have risen in price by 50% my wages have not
In fact due to inflation i make even LESS money

Right and also compared to 20 years ago they are not cheaper than ever. It's not fucking 1985.

My Bills weren't 3000 dollars a month in 2005.

@Goalkeeper @matrix a week's worth of groceries for a family of 4 when i was a kid was ~$100

Also gonna say this: 100 dollars for Final Fantasy II was not a good thing.

At least I can understand why back then (still a dumb thing to buy at the time).

Then buy it. I don't have to justify my economic decisions to you.

@Goalkeeper @Vidmastereon Gas in the US is basically in lockstep with inflation

Where the fuck are you paying that little for gas?

@Goalkeeper @Vidmastereon Not in the US :omegalul: , I'm just looking at the numbers.
My gas price is beating inflation.

@Goalkeeper @matrix @Vidmastereon I paid $2.49/gal yesterday nigga what kind of californian hellscape are you in if you're paying $3.27
@poastoak @Goalkeeper @matrix @Vidmastereon it's been hovering around 3.50 here for a few weeks now
@EssentialUtinsil @Goalkeeper @matrix @Vidmastereon Horrible, hasn't cracked $3 out here in west texas in a year or more

@Vidmastereon @Goalkeeper That's a separate claim from "game is too expensive"

More money on essentials = less money for non-essentials Mr. inflation calculator.

Also you forgot the crux of the argument for the semantics: My wages have NOT increased with inflation.

@Goalkeeper @Vidmastereon I understand, but you are relativizing an absolute claim and if your wages haven't increased with inflation, you are in a small minority.

@matrix @Goalkeeper @Vidmastereon We know you're a dumb fuck Economist, because you have to be in order to make these sorts of arguments, unironically.
