But then we also had a booming rental industry.
I had no idea those games were that expensive.
lI had that system in the 90's, though only games like Mario 1 and 2, Bass Fishing and Monopoly. I believe all those games me and my sister got on the same Christmas as the system. We never did get new games. Occasionally rented games like Super Smash Brothers from Video Zone (our local video / Blockbuster like store)
Am I remembering correctly that gameboy games were priced around $20?

Fair counterargument.

Bonus if you rented it again and your save was somehow still intact.
Maybe in the early 90's. When I was buying GB color and GBA games at Media Play and EB Games myself as a teenager I don't ever remember paying more than $20 for games like F-Zero or Super Mario Brothers (Wanted to get the classic NES game on GameBoy).

Hahah, I THOUGHT this flyer had a very "Consumers Distributing" feel to it.
That place was fucking amazing. Just me as a kid, with a pencil, an order form, parent's money and a dream.

I remember renting the same copy of Phantasy Star IV from Blockbuster three times and praying my save would still be there.

We still have Gamefly nowadays. I'll sign up once or twice a year to catch up on the stuff I don't feel like paying full price for.

this was the Biden administration's fault
seriously though, were my parents secret millionaires being that my brothers and I had a bunch of SNES games back in the day?

Look, maybe instead of buying 30 games, you'll buy 2 games, and those 2 games will cost a little more, OK?

Having had PS Plus since the PS3 era, I have a backlog of hundreds of games, not to mention the refresh of current games I get from the rotating roster. If games get too expensive I’ll be happy just paying for Plus and living off that.
