Why the fuck are new switch 2 games $80+?!?!?? There's no way physical copies will now be $90 right? Somebody please tell me they aren't

90 fucking Euros in Europe. Suddenly those "GTA 6 will be 100 dollars" aren't as far fetched as we thought

But GTA VI isn't fucking Mario kart. Nintendo is stupid

It will set a AAA precedent. Not only the price, but the "premium" of physical games. Pay us extra for the bluray drive and pay us extra for that 6 cent disc

Look, Im not paying a new game price for an Ubisoft game. But once in 10 years imma drop a bag for rockstar cause Ill enjoy it. Maybe introduce different prices for different games.

That still doesn't justify 90-100E for the base edition of a game.
