At that point you got no savings, so if something goes wrong you screwed. So yeah I get it.

It's just our wages are...not great. An apartment can be 1k-1.7k depending upon where you live, groceries are 300-500, nevermind transportation costs a lot of places in USA you have to have a car, utilities? So at least 2500 a month which is 15/h & thats if you got no debt....

Let me add another reply, if we reverse the cost of inflation, a $60 game today would have cost probably $13. (prices increased by a factor of 4.8-4.9), so let's just round up to be mean. In 1990 that would be $24-$26 (2.3-2.6) and in 2001 a $60 would be half the price. So yeah games are cheaper.

Also for the USA there is probably some mark up because of tariffs. So...take that? I guess? GG.

The only thing that I do agree with is the whole charging money for just better frame for a game you already own. Like...give me new content or something. Give me new items and shit.

I get it the cost of living is has gotten awful, an apartment cost $1000 if you are lucky. Groceries are awful (the cost of eggs) the cost of meat is expensive. I saw an advert on TV recently and a new car payment was in the $490 or something (mine is $473) and my credit was...fair.

Games have been cheaper than ever. I remember begging my mom for a $50 gamecube game in 2001 (todays money would be worth $89). Minimum wage in 2001 was 6.25. You know what today's federal minimum wage is? 7.25 in the USA. I know Connecticut raised their min wage to what 15 or 16.25
