Every year, the value of your money decreases even if the number in your bank is the same. This is through a process of salami slicing by all parties in the economy as they gravitate to higher prices fueled by wage hikes and the costs to educate/train an employee, as well as the price of the materials to create a product. It might be gradual over the course of months or very sudden in some cases, but your money will mean less the longer you hold onto it.

If you had 1 dollar in 2016, that same dollar is now worth what could have been bought for 74 cents that day and you didn't spend it. It continues to depreciate in value the longer you hold onto it. A more extreme example, someone who won $1000 a hundred years ago would have felt like $18,000 by today's standards. But if they had held onto it instead of spending it, the money can buy far less now than it could back then.

This is how they steal your money. It's voodoo nonsense and they try their hardest to make you stop thinking so hard about it so they can continue to to whittle your spending power away.

Adjusted for inflation does not work because I'm wage cuckin' it and it didn't adjust my pay.
Anyway iirc the last computer game I bought was $11 down from $17. I don't touch anything on my steam wishlist that doesn't drop below $20 and only get really tempted when it goes $10 or less. It's also a small list to begin with, because I use steam mostly just for free shit with mp. Anything else is easy to find free, and that $11 game was from one of my favorite JP indie devs so I was happy to give it.

Ten bucks or less.
I have a library of thousands, including the best games of all time. This is economics of supply and demand as it applies to marginal entertainment. Develop your games accordingly.
