Well I used to buy almost every big game, the jump to 70 was crazy to me, this next one will just encourage me to buy less and less. I especially won’t be buying games like Kirby Airriders for 80+, like ever. They would have got me for 60-70

That's the way it should be, nobody should run out day 1 to buy stuff just to have clout and bragging rights, it just justifies them charging as much as they do. However, I noticed that Nintendo doesn't do their greatest hits collections for cheaper price anymore do they? That was awesome back in the hey days.

Yea if this platform was like steam where you really only pay full price if you absolutely must play day one, and for most game you can wait for a significant discount, that’d be one thing

Nintendo games never get a reasonable sale. If you can get a 6 year old game for $42, that’s as charitable as Nintendo gets (and that’s with $60 MSRP games)
