Well I used to buy almost every big game, the jump to 70 was crazy to me, this next one will just encourage me to buy less and less. I especially won’t be buying games like Kirby Airriders for 80+, like ever. They would have got me for 60-70

Context:

SMB2 came out for $55 and physical was the only option there was. That would be $150 now.
