Most 60-70 dollar games are barebones now.

The actual full release with all content has been hidden behind 120 bucks editions, including Macrotransactions.

Or we were around when a NES game cost $50 and even the good ones can be beaten in an hour or two. Even the basic version of a game today is an undeniable value proposition over something that cost the same 20-30 years ago.

You can't put a price tag on playtime or enjoyment. If you do that, i still own Blizzard thousands of dollars, because i played Diablo 2 for 3 years everyday as a teen.

You can quantify it, though, and most NES games lose out to most games released today, and that's a basic fucking fact.

Nice attempt at dodging the point, tho.

Wrong.

I do and always will. A 3-4h CoD campaign for full price is NEVER justified.
