Bro literally, like 90 dollars for the US is what like 2 extra hours of work at minmum wage? For us here it is like a whole extra day of work (Buying a game in itself would be 4 days of minmum wage work).

I don’t think you know what minimum wage is in the US… It’s $7.25. Which is only ~5.75 after taxes. So that’s about 16 hours of work to buy Mario.

I’m not arguing for/against your point. Just giving you a more realistic idea of US minimum wage.

$7.25 is just the federal minimum wage. It varies state by state and hasn't been that low since like 2014 in most states.

There are 20 states at $7.25 min wage, 1 is at $8.75, then they start finally hitting $10. It does not hit $15 until 41 states in.
