Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game
rumba@lemmy.zip 5 days agoThe $10 games were trash in 1982. You’re going to spend 30 on something like Q-bert polygon.com/…/atari-et-ads-commercials-videos-198…
in 2025 Money, that’s $99, assuming you got it used I gave you 50-60
is there even anything wrong if a game only takes your attention for a hundred hours
I don’t think so, but you’re the one who mentioned it :)
but I got hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay out of Qbert. Can any of the leading games in the last decade do that?

Wow, shift goalposts much? You said “$10 in qbert days” which was the 80s and now it’s not $10 it’s $30. You can just admit you got it wrong and it was never $10 (though I do think prices right now are actually well aligned at $60 because of the far lower costs in distribution and marketing). Also I’m NOT the OP who played thousands of hours on qbert. Great job quoting someone else.
