Prices are steadily going up.
Quality is steadily going down.
They shit out a new game every other year, and people keep buying.
The winner? Game Freak's bank account.

Is that not standard price? The place I went to sold me AS for 39$ and even had a display with the original R/B/Y for 50$ each.

I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but in Straya, the old DS games have been the same price since release. They were actually more expensive than XY when it came out, what is up with that?

also inflation is a thing

video games are cheaper now than they were in the mid 90s when most of us (legal users) were kids. That is, if you adjust for inflation. And the amount of content/information stored is way more.

Here's one for US currency. Compare Mario 64's launch prices in 1996 to, say, console games now. Not even 3DS ones. (which still have more info/content/ ostensible value than N64 cartridges)

I am sorry OP,
but you can't hop in here today and pretending to reason about this gen lack of quality.
Today you would probably be more successful with the same thread on /b/.
