Skyrim: Anniversary Edition is the first major $70 title on the Switch

PS1 games were 40 bucks, no clue about pc games during that time since I wasnt a pc gamer then.

Please go here. https://techraptor.net/gaming/features/cost-of-gaming-since-1970s PS1 games new we’re 50 bucks. No way they were 40. On sale or used… sure, but not new

It looks like it is still on sale at gog.com for $24.99 if anyone is interested - https://www.gog.com/game/the_elder_scrolls_v_skyrim_anniversary_edition Its DRM free, too.

Not with a new game, but one that is 11 years old and many of us own multiple copies of ANYWAY.

What world did you live in where games were 40 bucks? I paid 55 bucks for SNES games in the early 90s. 50-60 dollars for games have been the norm for the past 30 years. The 70 dollar mark is new and honestly understandable. Sorry if it’s too much for you but game pricing in general hasn’t gone up in over 30 years.

You fail to mention that game studios went from selling 100k copies of a game to literal millions, most of which are now digital and don't carry the cost of packaging a physical copy.

Oh, and that Bethesda is rolling in dough, and is owned by one of the richest corporations on the planet, but yeah, the poor starving developers that brought you fallout 76 need more of your money!
