Right, but production cost has also increased steeply. Game scope has increased across the board, every asset is much more detailed (expensive) to produce and every developer is now more expensive than in the 00’s.

Ocarina of time reportedly cost ~12 million. Breath of the wild is estimated closer to 120 million, not counting marketing budgets for either.

Now games have gotten more popular but they haven’t gotten 10x more popular.

Yeah you just can’t be in a server room anymore without some dude trying to sell you on Office365 and Cortana, sigh.

Narrator: The left did not, in fact, get everyone’s basic needs met because it hasn’t been in power for nearly half a century. And incidentally, every time it was represented in government there were major strides in “getting everyone’s needs met”.

Don’t believe me? Do a Google search for “most liberal/leftist US presidents”, click any of these listicles and try to find the most recent leftist president. Notice how there isn’t a single one more recent than 1969?

For most of you reading this, the last actual leftist government predates your parents’ birth.
