I’d call myself a liberal but not left wing

Source?

$60 in the 1990s would be like $120 today. $80 is cheap by comparison

Idk who the first was, but Ubisoft, Activision, and EA all release $80 games. Plus there were N64 cartridges back in the 90s that cost $70-$80

They’re definitely not the first lol

I deny that nintendo is being very aggressive with pricing here. Increasing prices once in 30 years is not aggressive at all

I, for one, think we live in a pretty good world if the thing that drives us to complain on the internet is a modest increase in price for entertainment goods once every 30 years. I’m not going to bemoan capitalism because I have to shell out a few more bucks for Mario Kart; that actual insanity

It’s not like they’re making baby formula here. They’re making videogames. Nobody is entitled to a $60 cartridge

All companies charge the price that consumers will tolerate, that is literally how prices work. Every single thing you spend money on is based on this principle

Is charging for online play not common anymore? I was paying for Xbox live last time I owned an Xbox in like 2009.

Did you expect them to keep 1990s pricing forever?
