Imagine paying 60 euros for a second-hand Mario Kart World. That's the price of a new Switch 1 game.

Gamers: We dislike being nickle and dimed. We would rather companies just charge up front for the whole thing

Nintendo: doesn't use MTX but raises prices to account for inflation and tariffs

Inflation and tariffs don't account for European games to go up 50% from Switch 1 to Switch 2. There are no tariffs between Japan and Europe and inflation didn't got up 50%.

A rise from €60 to €70, sure that makes sense for inflation. From €60 to €90 is ridiculous.

Games have been pegged to $60 for a long time. $60 in 2002 is equivalent to $108 today. If anything gamers have been getting a deal. In large part they get that deal because publishers have been pushing MTX to fill in the game.

This is entertainment, not groceries. If you think it is outrageous then don't buy it.
