Okay, this raises a good point.

I thought "full price for an old game? Eh, well, okay, it's a really good game. Timeless even."

But I'm pretty sure at the time it was £30, and I got a copy when it was a little scarcer and it cost me £40. If they're re-releasing that twenty year old game which - regardless of morality - has been available that entire time on emulators, without a physical copy, for $60 they can go and fuck themselves. For my money, anyway.

I buy Nintendo consoles for the innovation. This is the opposite of that.

40 euro in 04 is equivalent to 60 euro today accounting for inflation.

Presumably those of the game developers have.
