    Me and millions of others. If you account for inflation, there has been higher prices in the past.

          My question was genuine, and not rude at all, absolute majority of people can’t afford to buy $90 game every month, nor should they.

            Your question was a good one, but still rude. You’re more likely to get a satisfying answer if you don’t pose the premise that the person you’re replying to must be dumb if they’re not rich.

      Because inflation applies to all products equally and there aren’t ever relative adjustments /s

      What games currently cost that much though, is my question really, I guess. The last expensive titles I can see right now for standard editions of games is like, 70Eur equivalent for AAA type titles.

        Nice to see an adult reaction in this thread. You have a good point and I’m very curious why Nintendo made these choices. Maybe it could have to do with the current value of the Japanese yen? I’m not an economist though, so I’m just guessing right now.
