Americans seem to complain a lot about paying 20 $ for a game. Us Australians pay like 100 $ for a game, you have it lucky and you should be grateful for what you have.

A price to surpass metal gear.

Mario 64 was over a hundred dollars when it came out. I think it's just these whiny millennials.
>>322005324
That's what you get for having a $50 minimum wage, faggots.
>>322005485
A 50 dollar wage can get you a lot of things done.
That is not how monetary conversion works. Your money is worth less and your minimum wage is almost twice what ours is.
Stop fucking complaining you idiot.

>Mario 64 was over 100 dollars
No it wasn't. NBA Jam on Super Nintendo was $100, and that's where the spike ended for normal cartridge games. $80 seemed to be the "sweet spot" for high-priced cartridges.
Mario 64 MSRP was $70.
>>322005485
That's what these fucking idiots always fail to mention.
Their payscale goes up automatically too depending on your age. Two people doing the same exact job with the same exact experience will get paid different because one is older than the other.
You kangaroo bouncing fucks are retarded.
Some americans make like 6 dollars a fucking hour while aussies make 15 at minimum? Why are aussies so fucking shit tier?
>>322005437
I got mario 64 for about 80 dollars which would have been about 120 in today's money. New games for for 60 bucks a pop and Mario 64 is easily worth more than the price of two Bloodbornes
>Canadian games cost almost 100 dollars, after taxes.
You're not alone, Aussie.
>>322006772
$15 at minimum is a myth. I work in a factory making signs and I get paid $11.30 an hour. Not only that, I'm not allowed vacation days because a shitload of places in Australia keep majority of their staff as casual rather than full-time so they aren't entitled to other work related benefits. Maybe our minimum wage is slightly higher. Our cost of living is much higher though. Rent is absolutely outrageous, even in the shittiest bumfuck areas. Want a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom flat? That'll be $450 weekly, thank you. All these faggots think their tiny shit plot of land is worth diamonds. Unless you live in a granny flat at the back of some faggot house with no internal hot water, you're paying out the balls.

Because you have failing economies and your dollar is worthless if games were the same price the companies would lose money

Together we stand Canada, In this sea of underpaid and under appreciated anons.
>>322007081
>450 weekly
yeah ok
>>322005324
Is that why you're always shitposting?
>>322007081
>casual
Yeah, I've notice that as well. While back they suddenly change the laws and then now you don't have a job we will rehire you as a casual however you don't get anything you had before.
Because we can't actually fire you were going to make your life a living hell untill you quit or we've got the dirt to fire you, if you have the guts to sue us then we will make up story's about you to protect our jobs.
>>322007163
I fucking wish I was joking, you faggotsucker.
>>322007282
It's like that in Canada for bottom wage workers too. Most big companies hiring minimum wage workers keep their hours down so they don't have to pay any benefits.
>>322007172
>Your post
Well this was a disappointment.
>>322007392
Fucking retard, I live on the other side of the pacific in spic infested Van Nuys, California and the rent for a 1 bedroom/bathroom is at least 800 dollars if you're lucky. I pay 650 a month but I've been living in the same place for over a decade.

If you arbitrarily raise wages you raise costs of production and therefore have to raise prices to compensate
>>322005324
>paying 20 $ for a game
more like 60$ for a neutered game and an additional 50$ for the rest of it
>>322005654
>be BR HUEUEHE
>games cost 100 bucks
this is why we cant have nice things
>comparing prices in other countries using your countries income and a google conversion
Do people need more proof that 90% of /v/ is underaged?
>>322010731
>2$ minimum wage
>$100 games
That sucks. Imagine spending more than a week's wages on a vidya game.
>>322005654
stat is meaningless since really few people are at min wages.
