It costs so much because ppl are greedy. Although games back in the day were not as advanced as they are now, you could get one each week with your pocket money, £1.99 for a codemasters game for the spectrum for example. You could even buy magazines and type in the BASIC yourself for some games and play them for free (after you found the typos, lol).
You didn't even need to preordered back then and the games were on a cassette.
I don't really know where going with this, I can remember a big jump in price happening when consoles came out. I can honestly say I've never felt so ripped off as I did with destiny, I think it was all the expectation of better things on the horizon so you keep investing your time. I was amazed when a mate said he finished TDB dlc in one night and it was £20 gone.
I never minded paying sub's in WoW, there was always something to do. Something just doesn't sit right with me for destiny. I still have that feeling I have been played.
The other thing that bugs me is advancement in technology. It is supposed to make things easier, so should be cheaper to do, so why do the costs skyrocket year after year?

I remember checking out 39 99 for a GameBoy game that was only eight megabytes and we're talking 1990s 3995 what you could probably buy today's PlayStation consoles.
