What a fucktard. If games were cheaper, more people would buy them. Nowadays a hell of a lot of people wait until the game is updated and on sale to buy it since most games are released broken anyways. That or they just pirate it. No way I'm spending 1/10 of a paycheck on a new video game every once in a while.

Ha ha ha. A $60 game is like a third of my paycheck.

Wait until you learn what the price was 30 years ago. Hint: it’s the same price.
