Either you're a GPT prompt gone out of fucking control or you're autistic and taking a joke too seriously.

For the joke in real time: https://fineleatherjackets.net/monkeyinflation
Now that I think about it, accounting for CPI it's actually tracked the street price of "triple A" games (meaning Steam sales after they've been out for a year or so and the FOMO is gone) pretty well.

I'd never pay more than $30, regardless of "muh inflation". 
Devs have become dumber and dumber, while game development has become easier and easier. So why should I pay them more money? Fuck them.

>implying it goes to the devs

>>259993 (OP) 
Gold and silver huh? Why not put housing prices and college tuition into the problem? Why not factor in the othe stuff like how suddenly the rules change in regards to mandatory insurance, jobs being harder to get, etc? Oh right, because you're a shill for 'eternal ((( currency )))'. If in 1960ish silver quarters were worth 10x what quarters are today and the US economy is 10x what it was then we should be paid whater min wage was back then but times 100. You don't wanna talk about that though, do you?

>>259993 (OP) 
>" According to inflation data" in the second sentence
This is off to a riveting start. The answer is stop sucking corporate dick because it doesn't benefit you.
The customer will always want the maximum value for the minimum price.
The average household income has not matched with the inflated prices of the industry.
The quality and innovation of video games pales in comparison than games in the past to justify me paying that much.
The monetization schemes and piece meal-ing every modern game doesn't justify prices.
When a AAA game that takes 5 years plus to make does fuck up, companies will not give a response to negative reception and continue on like its a justified modus operandi.
When a AAA sequel game that takes 5 years plus to make does fuck up when they have an easy blueprint of "last game but more and end the storyline"; companies will still indignantly refuse to answer to public reception.
Every major video game company, famous developer, and industry superstar held their heads down and tucked their tails between their legs as journalist, funded by USAID and ESG, tried to dismiss videogames as an artform, suck off hollywood, call you and everyone here a nazi, sexist, bigot, and terrorist, and entrenched that mentality to the common masses which has led to a culture war that has lasted over two decades.

It is only a wonder why people react to you with dismissal and hostility.

I think your numbers are off, because you could get 1 oz physical gold for $350 in 2001, and there wasn't any major price changes in the previous decade.

This is a level of schizophrenia I haven't seen before.

Where am I wrong? And if more people reacted to the game industry like me instead of being a passive aggresive smug cunt like you I bet the videogame industry would be in a better place.

Does it register to you that I quoted the "to you" instead of any of your points? Can you read at all?

>>270025
You're a disingenuous faggot.
>Does it register to you that I quoted the "to you"
No, you quoted two words out of a middle of a sentence of my whole entire diatribe. No one knows what point you were trying to make or implicating. No point you made in the last post was profound and you made everyone here stupider reading it. You're just doing ad homenim attacks instead of arguing against anything I actually said because your a corporate dick sucker like OP who would entertain arguments like " what inflation should be for videogames" in the first place instead of thinking that people are going to pirate because of all the deceptive and malicious shit that has been done to the customer base that has built up this entire industry.
But please tell me what fruitful conversation are we going to get from an op asking questions like this? What did I say was wrong?

There should be a term for this kind of schizotypal rambling. It isn't quite a word salad because they components aren't totally meaningless, but it's still compulsive logorrhea circling the same three or so stereotyped thoughts until you want to strangle the shithead responsible. I propose "word antipasto."

>>270034
It's called holding people to task and not letting up on them when they make stupid arguments. Calling me schizo after you made up 3 words in your post is a laugh. Now are you going to answer what I said was wrong or are you going to keep pulling out made up words out of your ass?

What I got from your post is that Keynesian egonomics is gay and one of the primary causes behind the post-2007 downfall of man so it's time to blow up all the ATMs, stock exchanges and jewesses because kikes can't into patrilineal inheritance, lol to bring back the Gold standard so the post-apocalypse can have decent bideo gayms made with the intent of fun instead of Jewnigger malice and related heresies.
All in all, nothing unusual by both pre and post-8gag standards.

It was very obvious, and I'm sorry that you didn't understand it. Now draw me a clock showing 7:38.

I know its the same person when it is the same dismissive remarks with the same insults. Once again I would be all ears to hear the pertinence of actually answering OPs question and entertaining "what should be" instead of looking at every reason me and every other anon listed to you in the thread as to why the industry is pricing and purchasing the way it is.

>>270118
Not him/them but saying 'to you' the way you did makes it sound like you are assuming his posts being bullied for being stupid when you could not know that unless a moderator. Alternatively it could be that you meant in the thread itself before you posted. It could also mean in general you imagine people tell him off for being dumb. The guy trolling you right now probably skimmed what you wrote and felt like trolling, he surely knows that you could have meant many things, but that is why people have this schizo post meme. It's not a "schizo post" so much as the anon accusing someone of a schizo post resents the poster of such meanderings as they don't like to think about things. He likely just resents having been forced to think for once. Such a poster would be the same type of guy that in the past would sardoncically say "that's dangerous thinking there, better not to think, knowledge is evil!"  or some such. 
t. >>269990 (In case cookie glitch) not that it matters except that I hated the OP too. It's lame. 20 dollars? Has he posted this meme a lot? Have you seen him be told off over it? Why 20 dollars? ?

Sure the "to you" could be interpreted for a lot of things, but fact that he didn't answer any of the genuine responses towards the economic factors and price of gold like what you posted shows that he didn't post to listen and has nothing worth a damn to say. So people have dismissed the op topic about inflation or made shitposts posting pirates kinda like what I said originally.

>>270135
Is not me. I'm assuming its him ID hopping again, but I'm the schizo though.

>>270137
>NOOO NO THE HECKIN ID HOPPING NOOOOOO
Thread IDs were a mistake and this kind of idiocy is exactly why.

I think it helped cut down on a lot of the bullshit. But keep posting, the more you do, the more you expose yourself.

Tranny jannies do better to eliminate samefags at this level versus the obsessive faggotry of people like you going "YOU'RE THE SAME PERSON YOU'RE ALL THE SAME PERSON EVEN THOUGH YOUR IDS ARE DIFFERENT YOU'RE THE SAME, YOU'RE BULLYING ME, YOU'RE EXPOSING YOURSELF, I BET YOU'RE MY BOOGEYMAN YOU POST JUST LIKE HIM"

So how much is good old goy asking for a 40 year old computer game, that has to be run in emulator because basically nobody has a fucking Commodore 64 now.
Also they're pulling all the SSI Games, it's not just this one.

>>259993 (OP) 
Reminder that back then games were large boxed copies with giant fucking manuals and occasionally more shit where the dev/publisher got a much fucking smaller cut of the final sales price because of production and distribution costs. Nowadays they're all taking at least 70% of the digital sales price in their own pockets and are selling games in much larger quantities too.

The reason prices go up is because of fucking greed, bloated development, incompetent management, and more fucking greed. Not inflation.

>>259993 (OP) 
It means to never pay more than $20 for a videogame.
Next question.

I think I finally realized the "solution" to the "buyfag conundrum".
One of the things that's been bothering me about vidya for the past several years is just how many games have officially been released for free at some point. And this includes everything from recent AAA titles (Deathloop, GotG, Dead Island 2), to popular older games (Rogue Squadron, Splinter Cell, Lego Batman, Planescape), to even obscure as shit titles (A&OXXL, XIII, Flashback). And one of the problems I have with this process is that, to me, it gives zero reason to ever want to find and acquire these games in the wild. That there's almost never any point in wanting to get these games, or any other games for that matter, because you'll eventually get them for free (Legally) at some point.

And this is where I think the entire 'POINT' of buyfagging gets overlooked. It has absolutely nothing to do with buying the popular or best games, or even supporting the creators. It has to do with the fact that you're buying a game that will never see the light of day again, and preserving that so other people can play that game in the future. All these other games that are "digital only" or being rereleased ad nauseam shouldn't or don't need to be bought because they will never become "lost media". Especially in this day and age where everyone is preserving the shit out of every single program shit out onto the Google Play store.

Meaning that is a game 'actually' becomes somehow "lost" at this point, there's a damn good reason why.
