Do you think video games are getting way too expensive? What about consoles, are they too expensive as well? Why or why not?
When did games max out at $25-$30?? That's gotta be well over 30 years ago.I remember when games never cost more than $25-$30 for video games. Now, games cost about twice as much. Also, consoles cost wwwaaaaaayyyy more than they use to. I remember when consoles never cost more than $100-$150. Now, they are $300, $400 or $500 a piece (depending on which one you get).
If you go back that far, you have to factor in inflation.At the very least at the start of the gaming era.

Why retail console games have never been cheaper, historically
You can but you also gotta cut your salary in half. The prices look good versus today's prices, but inflation always plays a role. What system was out when you were a kid?
When I was young I only had a GB and Genesis. Every game I got was either a gift or bought at a garage sale. I didn't have to deal with buying full price games until the Wii era. By then, I was on Steam so I learned to wait for sales.
That's one of my main problems. Like after the ARMS demo, I'll admit it's more fun than I thought, but I don't think it's worth the $60 price. I mean the single player is just an arcade mode where you fight 10 battles in a row. Sure it has a few more games modes, but even still it's not worth that much. Maybe $39.99, but even that pushes it too far. I got the Switch to play BotW and it was worth every penny and more. All $370 of it.I feel short games can be expensive. I consider short games to be games where you can beat them in a few hours even when you do most of the the extra side quest, and collect all the items, and weapons.
