minus-squareBigPotato@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·22 hours agoI was going to buy an old game that was not very good for nostalgia purposes as a gift. Since COVID it has tripled in price. It was already not good, and at $150 I’d rather gift an Everdrive with an 8gb card full of the rom than spend that much on a shelf piece.
