!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I just looked it up, and I'm surprised to say that Spider-Man 2 (just released on PC back in February I believe) is still only $60. I mean, sure it's over a year old from it's original PS5 release, but the fact they're not asking $80 for it is kinda nice.
And Oblivion Remastered is "only" $50.
$50 today is equivalent to about $28.50 19 years ago. So it's effectively half price lmao
Except wages didn't increase that much, and price changes drive inflation, not the other way around.
Feels like we're dancing around the topic of purchasing power collapse so it might as well be said - this is a bread and circuses issue at heart.
