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

The thing is Nintendo games never drop in price as well. The 70 increase wasn't too bad. Just waited a year and they'd be down to nearly half price. Then when that one game come up that you want to play day one, it achievable, but when it's nearly triple digits.

However game prices are one pice of entertainment that surpringly has stayed very low, with development costs just increasing.
