Zak Frank @zaktothebasics.bsky.social · 14/04/2025The price of premium games will likely rise to $80 across the board. US wages have been stagnant since the 1970s. They haven't kept up with the cost of housing/rent, tuition, and healthcare. People have less disposable income than in 1980. Keep games affordable. 100
