Thank you so fucking much Nintendo for upping the standard and the everyone else falling in line because consoomers didn't scoff at all and sold out pre-orders

Like Nvidia video cards did during the pandemic...

I think it was actually publishers like EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, and Activision that started the price increase. For big titles they started raising them to $70 a year or two ago, then to 80. I think I remember Diablo 4 launching for $80, or so.

I only know this because I refuse to buy from these publishers.
