A few counterpoints to the shills using the "Inflation" defense.

1. Originally the reason why NES/SNES and Sega Genesis cartridges were so expensive was the manufacturing costs of the microchips inside of them, but as soon as CD discs became standard the manufacturing costs and prices dipped accordingly around the PSX era so this is just corporate greed, plain and simple.

2. SALARIES have NOT increased with inflation so EVERYTHING costs more, yet people aren't getting paid proportionally enough to make ends meet and are largely struggling to hold their heads above water thanks to Biden-nomics and they JUST raised the prices of full retail games to $70 but the QUALITY of games has, on average DIPPED rather than improved not making them worth that much, some would argue not even $30 on discount because of how buggy, broken and glitchy they are on launch on top of the scummy nickle-and-diming DLC practices that come packed in with these so-called "quadruple A/AAAA/Ax4) experiences.

Why WOULD people be happy with that when after the LAST price hike the VAST majority of games aren't even worth the $10 extra we get charged with the BASE game.

And Nintendo thinks gamers will all just be cool with paying $80-$90 for games that we won't even OWN because the 'physical' copy will just be a code that can (likely) be rescinded at any time for whatever ToS violation that may be arbitrary to punish customers/gamers for whatever slight (real or imagined)?

Screw that noise!
