New releases used to be £40 when I was a kid (twenty years ago), given inflation, £70 sounds not too bad.

That $40 included plastic packaging and a disc both of which largely don’t exist anymore.

Absolutely agree with you. However it’s what’s been said to people for years to justify the cost

40? I remember when they were 20. Hell, I remember when you could get slightly older titles for 10. I used to go to Egghead and buy slightly older games with my allowance.

No you don’t. You are just imagining. At no point ever was $20 typical for a new game.

more importantly they sell way more units now. It takes virtually no more effort or cost for gaming companies to sell 20 million units vs 1 million.
