Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I've seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It's always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it's been a thing.

Even more dumb is that sales are stupidly frequent so why even bother trying to pay $70 anyways besides FOMO.

The first computer game I ever bought was Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord for $80 in 1982. The new version is $35 on Steam and wishlisted because I'm a cheap bastard now.

Daaaammmnnnn, I played Wizardry 8 back in the day and that game was fantastic. Never played any of the earlier ones though.
