Yes, but the difference is that wages have not significantly gone up since then apart from minimum wage in a few states. That is the difference.

If peoples’ purchasing power is more or less the same, factoring in inflation to game prices would result in a ton of people simply not being able to buy “luxury goods” like video games.
Meanwhile the EU probably pushes for the 100th time to backdoor all communication encryption backed by fascists and Spain trying to put down the Catalans…
And the UK doing the same thing and also a big surveillance state…
Sadly nowhere is great right now.
