In the last frame there is a thing that looks like a post it note or a paper stuck to the wall which we don't see in the previous two frames - and they're all supposed to be the same image, only zoomed in. It's too blurry to be read but it appears to have something written on it, any clues as to what that is?
In the before-times people would purchase objects that were displayed on "shelves". They would pick the object up and carry it to a "cashier" who would then look at a small sticker called a "price tag" on the item, and charge the customer that amount.
Still, it's weird that the zoomed-in image came from a different copy of the game than the other two. (Or that they took off the sticker before taking another photo, and then didn't use that new photo for the zoomed-in image.)
I feel like the “ai” upscaling comment is probably right. The women in the last frame have a lot more detail and contrast, in addition to a partially illegible price tag that wasn’t there before.
Like, it could be from a different photo, but why would the creator go find a whole different picture when they had one right in front of them?
I agree with you guys. I just thought it was funny.
Maybe they had to use a different, larger, pic to get anything recognizable? It's an internet mystery.
We shall never know lol.
It could be that the O OP had the tiny kitchen photo first like their sister texted them 'look wtf is on this old game box" and then they just Googled the second larger photo of a game box for context
That's definitely possible. Good thinking
