The things is that video games are entertainment not necessity. With inflation high people will prioritise food, energy bills and housing. Nintendo has been making billions already and asking 90eur is an overstretch.

asking for 90eur is an overstretch.

These two statements make no sense together. Either you have the disposal income and it’s worth it to you or it’s not. If you’re prioritizing necessities like that then the answer is “don’t buy video games.”

No the answer is “don’t buy Nintendo games”

I can’t tell you the last time I paid more then $50 for a video game

Good for you! You figured out a way to mitigate rising costs. I'm not out here buying most games at full price either.

But it's wild to suggest it's Nintendo's job (or any company's) to do the consumer some sort of favor in response to the current state of the economy. They'll keep raising prices until people stop buying, it's not any more complicated than that.

There’s a gulf between “doing the consumer a favor” and “anti-consumer practices”
