For final fantasy V the cartridge cost was $15 each, total cost $37 millions for the SNES.
They did a version for PS1 the CD Roms disk coast was 2$ for each.
It was so that expensive that Sierra did phantasmagoria with 7 cdroms.
Woldfenatein and Doom didn’t rise the success because of steam.
Second hand market was killed by Steam, it even gone to court. And it is illegal to resale games due to their business model.
