    Am I just being ignorant in thinking it’s strange that these vendors need to increase their prices by 24% when inflation is not even double digits?

      Corporate greed. It happens with everything, be it prices of microchips or mashed potato.

        I‘m honestly surprised that games haven’t reached the $100 mark years ago already(excluding deluxe editions). I hear many people cry about how a console game is now $80 instead of $70 but if we’d really take Inflation of the last 20 years they should already be way above $100. It seems like games are one of the most price-stable things

    This isn’t just a tech issue. Every company loves inflation because they can use it as an excuse to raise prices.
