Note that due to blackmagic fuckery and import fees for the UK, everything game related is sold at equal cost to the US. Example: Xbox Series X was UK£450/US$450. These prices are therefore convertible as 1:1
Back in the day I paid £60 for a game (£40 base) plus season pass, discount bundle. According to an inflation calculator that value = £90 today.
Ignoring the difference in time to develop and the manpower involved between these two reference games, only taking into account the reported playtime...
Overall reception for the games vary massively...
MW3 2011
MW3 2023
Let's just say I still wouldn't pay over £90 for the entire game. Notwithstanding that many games today are released unfinished due to crunch time culture and the ability to update, or finish development, after release.
