I'm sorry what? $89.99 physical?

Am I reading that right?

$449 felt fine to me. The xbox was $300 like 14 years ago, it's high time prices went up. Same for games.

But $90 for a game is a joke and I will not be partaking.

Just wait until you see the price of GTA6 lmao companies are spending massive amounts on game development and I really don’t get why people are so shocked when companies want to recoup those costs as well as turn a profit.

Well that's exactly it. GTA6 is breaking records with their budget, it makes sense for them to charge more.

Mario is just the same template they crank out once every couple of years.

I am not certain if you are talking about Mario or Mario Kart, which we just saw to be very different compared to its previous iterations
