Weren't they more than that before? Logically, people who want to play something like Earthbound, at least in North America, can now purchase it off the Virtual Console and not have to find one of those rare, super-expensive SNES cartridges. Admittedly, it is not an example I know quite as well as the other one, Medieval Madness. It was a pinball machine released during the waning years of the business (at that time), so only a few of them were made, but they were well-liked by those still into pinball then. They were sold new for about $2,000 but would fetch an average of $12,000 per machine--until a faithful remake came out that cost $8,000. All of a sudden, excellent-condition classic Medieval Madness machines would not sell for more than $9,000. But I guess we're talking about prices on the scale of thousands of dollars here, not hundreds.
What you mention reminds me of those "very special episodes" where the show, normally a comedy, stops being comedic and is now a very serious and direct talk about a social issue. Those are done to avoid the show getting criticism about not being progressive enough. I must wonder if sometimes, games have to be front and center about these social issues to try to deflect some of that stigma, even more so now with people who care about social justice running around. |
