I started buying games after buying myself an OG play station. Even back then, I remember $40 and even $50 MSRP game prices. Their greatest hits line was discounted to $20. Final Fantasy 7, which remains an all time favorite of mine, [was $50 at launch](https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/how-much-was-final-fantasy-7-when-it-came-out/).
Their greatest hits line was generally priced at $20, which offered a way of discounting games after launch. IMO man games in Steam follow a similar pricing strategy these days - high launch prices with discounts later.
Note that I'm not advocating for the digital only model. Not being able to sell your games again is super lame.
