who is fox?

I want to fuck that fox

Print design software cost $20k back then and this was a one time use license

It's good things are better now, but looking back, the bright side of the issue was that it weeded out the normies. You didn't have """"graphic designers"""" when >>57645171 was a reality.
You had to be 100% serious or gtfo

>>57645339
That's not a benefit. Lowered bars for entry allow more skilled people to get into an industry. It can create a lot of obnoxious shitters who don't have much talent but a minor annoyance is worth a wider range of talented artists.

goddam that is one sexual fox

I need the name and address of this sexual fox, for reasons.

>>57642475
piracy was the reason for those prices

>>57646529
I'd say it's about availability of people specialized programmers and cost of computers altogether.
Now you have thousands of pajeets you can hire for a minimum payment. Your program will barely work, but that's enough to sell it.
Look at Microsoft.

Game prices were fucked too. $50 for a crap text adventure in the mid 80s.

I have a Sears catalog from 1993. An NES casino game was $50 and Street Fighter II for the SNES was $70.

Street Fighter II would cost about $120 nowadays

Yeah but most games today are actually good and take a lot of work compared to the 90's when every monkey could make one. No wonder games back then were so shit and this is way no one takes games seriously today.

It was brand new technology. Why is anyone surprised

>>57650419
this extended into the 2000s pretty heavily on PC and PS2, then into the DS and Wii

shovelware might actually be dying for PC/consoles finally. now we just get shit early access indie games

>>57642475
I hate the normies as much as the next /g/uy, but they are the reason the computer market is big enough to justify these making computer products as big as cheap as they are now.

>>57650419
>Yeah but most games today are actually good

No they're not, they're all Hollywoodized DLC-ridden bullshit like Cowadoody, Ass Effect, Dark as my Souls, etc.

Battlefield 1942 was the last good Battlefield. Starcraft Broodwar was the last good Starcraft. Diablo 2 was the last good Diablo. Morrowind was the last good Elder Scrolls. I could go on and on.

>>57654973
The national wage index in 1980 was $12,000... Its $50,000 today.

The average home cost $65,000 in 1980, its $250,000 now.
