Great software at great (big) prices. I mean if minecraft would have been published in the 90s it would prob cost 80$ which is 160$ in todays money (making up numbers here) instead of 10$. It is harder and more expensive to make software in constraint environments.



Why? Original 1994 System Shock was released at $34.99. Internally it was pretty much Minecraft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr3_6gb92Kw ;-)


Maybe country specific. Here any game was 80 (but probably i remember wrongly)
