Super Mario bros 3 was $59 in 1992

Borderlands 4 should be like $180 accounting for inflation

At $80 it’s not a terrible price.

Don’t get mad at me about our money being worthless.

I just wanna play games too.

Super Mario Bros. 3 was released as a fully finished product that I actually own a physical copy of.

Borderlands 4, will probably be a quarter finished when it released, filled with all kinds of apologies, possibly have micro transactions, and will likely be able to be taken out of my library at some point as it’s digital only.

The value is not the same.

You’re right the value is not the same.

Super Mario 3 would be $180 today.

Borderlands 4 will be less than half that.

It’s a good deal.

Think of how many more pixels you’re getting though.
