Fallout co-creator Tim Cain remembers buying Super Nintendo games "for $59 in the '90s," but while digital games saved publishers money "those cost savings for digital weren't passed on to consumers"

Fallout co-creator, The Outer Worlds co-director, and all-round chatty RPG icon Tim Cain is back with another insightful industry vlog, this time breaking down the pros and cons of digital gaming, where he argues that digital storefronts are the reason why game prices haven't matched inflation.

"Digital is cheaper. It's cheaper for everybody," he starts off in his latest YouTube video. "It's less costs all around. So, in theory, prices should've dropped, but it didn't." Cain's argument is that digital distribution meant publishers didn't need to pay as much to print physical game boxes and then distribute them to stores. Plus, digital storefronts meant games could be global.
