    While I agree with your statement about the cost of games, I think the link you provided is incorrect.

    While it’s often true that young people will be wrong on a topic they are passionate about, that is true of everybody. It’s also true that the human memory is extremely fallible so just because we experienced something doesn’t mean we have the facts of the event correct in our own head.

    The reason I agree with you on the first of game cartridges, though is that info is verifiable. Cartridges didn’t provide consistency in manufacturing costs because they were all different inside. Many SNES games were over 60 dollars.

      I’m not here to defend the meme link I provided, but in its defense, it explicitly refers to verifiable facts.

      Like, you know, the price of games adjusted for inflation.
