      I never saw a gaming mag cost more than 6 bucks on the magazine racks. Which isnt bad, even back then when 6 bucks was a lot more valuable, for something you only paid once a month for (and wound up being cheaper once you subscribed)

        I think those days are long past us. PC gamer is currently $9 for one digital issue. Game informer (print) is $12. Both of those are obviously much cheaper if you get a subscription but for those who just casually wanted to grab one while getting groceries it’s either that or a few gallons of milk.

          Oh, now… yes the prices are dumb now. cause of dwindling demand due to just being able to get info everywhere, so they up prices to cover costs.

          I thought we were talking about how things were in the good times of the long long ago. my mistake
