I still don’t get the game price hate. There’s plenty of other things to hate on Nintendo for, but do an inflation check on $60 between 2010 and now and it’s $88. It’s way past time for prices to go up and they’re still much cheaper than they used to be in the 80’s and 90’s.
Do I like that it finally followed the market and increased? No. But PS5 and XBox games have been expensive new for quite a while. Indie games are able to fill in the market space below and that’s where my money goes anyway. This will just continue that trend.
Not to mention the used market will continue thanks to physical copies that are slowly being dropped from other platforms.

I’m generally on board with this quote, but the markets has scaled massively, and the development costs less heavily. So even with keeping their prices at 60 bucks, they’re still making way more profits than before.
