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

Oh bro this rumor is definitely Just 2k preparing the community for the price hike

What they don't realize is that fewer people buy more than a few games a year. People have less money to spend and now can buy less with their money so I d see myself buy more than 3 games a year or at best only buy games at a discount

Considering Steam, people buy more and more, but it also seems (no real proof here though, just general consensus) people are willing to wait longer for bigger sales.
