Same old prices…bland. Oh and price hikes too. I had to check my order history to compare to find that I paid $.89 for the original Theme Park back in 2016. They want $3 now for it. Screw that.
It varies, but it’s something like $7.50 to $8. In any case, inflation is a thing. Theme Park was added to the Good Old Games program, which means GOG did real work on it, and it’s not egregious to charge a few extra dollars. Plus, sale percentages are variable; sometimes Dragon Age is 50% off, but right now it’s 60%; this sale might not be a given game’s deepest discount. Are they charging what you’re willing to pay? If I was in the market for Theme Park at $0.89, I’d probably still be in the market for it at $3.
That’s what the order form says here in Brooklyn, which ought to be more expensive than most locations. Maybe it’s because they have to compete with the plethora of bodegas we have.
Inflation, to me, is code word for “I’m going to be greedier”. So, I’m so sick of seeing that word ‘inflation’ being thrown around so much because it’s just excusing and justifying the greed.
You’re free to believe what you like, but it is real. The cost of an input (electricity, server components, employee salaries, etc.) goes up, and the cost of what a company produces has to go up as well.

Wait until you find out what Subway used to charge for a footlong sandwich.
What do they charge now? Also, are their “foot"longs still 11”, or have they gotten even shorter?
Average size is 4.5"

Please try to stay on topic. Tell me more about Subway sandwiches.
Right? It’s till cheaper than a coffee. I’d be pissed if it were $15
You weren’t suppose to do any research on sale prices you dumb consumer! That’s not how capitalism works, jeez!
The 89 cents were probably on sale too. So the only thing you could say is that the sale is not as good as ten years ago.

1.49 is honestly not a bad bargain either. But, this just highlights where sales have degraded to over the past five years.
