Wages were also comparatively higher in the 1990s. Prices go up, but wages don’t keep pace. Simply converting the currency doesn’t tell the whole story.
I’m glad at least one person in this thread knows how inflation works. However, as I’ve recently researched, games started costing $60 in 2005, which lands us at 90$ in today’s money.
$60 in the 1990s would be like $120 today. $80 is cheap by comparison

That would be fine if wages had kept up with inflation. They have not, at all.
I don’t think it’s a game publisher’s problem if you haven’t had a raise in 20 years.
