Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game

I was a poor farm kid and winters were long.

I was still playing our Atari 2600 when the PS2 launched.

That really dramatically takes the steam out of your argument though.

If the same conditions for you existed today, any modern game would blow qbert out of the water, and indeed you would put thousands of hours into it.

Also, Atari games were $20 when they were new not 10. So with inflation it’s about the same as an $80 game today.
