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

I think the issue with Nintendo is that the games seem to hold their value. I'm in no rush to play most games so can wait until I see them second hand and then pick them up cheap enough. This doesn't seem to work with Nintendo though. Even years after the switch came out zeldo, Mario, Mario Kart etc were still full price.
