I don't see the connection. The PS5/XSX will see enhanced ports with updated graphics. Even if it's just 4k/60FPS without touching anything else.
As long as current gen games don't use a variable framerate and dynamic resolution, nothing will change when played on next gen systems.

Kind of depends how much they expect to sell. If they expect to sell to a niche audience they need more money per copy to make the investment work.

Or they're just trying to rip people off. Either way, I don't see much point in complaining. I'm a big fan of people educating themselves before they make purchases, and not buying something they don't feel is worth it.

I am rereading trough old magazines and the nintendo tax is something gamers complained about in 96

Well, the solution is very simple. Just don't buy it. The more people buy games like this at such high prices the more publishers are going to put those prices on their games. If people just refuse to pay these ridiculous price then they won't happen as much anymore.

Oh right, now that you mention it! Almost forgot that one. I wonder if he learned from that or if he continues to be dick if his game doesn't meet his expectations.

This is the same guy who had no faith in the Switch with that interview with Kinda Funny who were and still are negative nancies from back in April 2017, expecting it to fail and adding the out of context but still tasteless comment, saying "The biggest problem I see at Nintendo is the thinking. Personally, I think it killed Iwata; that he couldn't move the organisation into a really successful arena."

That's because PS1 games were $50, while N64 games were $60. That's what they were referring to when they talked about Nintendo tax back then. 

Enter the Gungeon on eShop/Steam both sell for $15. 

Ateleir Arland Trilogy both sell for $89 on eShop and Steam. 

Katana Zero is the same price on both too. 

I could go on, and on. For the most part Switch games sell for the same as games on Steam. 

The whole idea that Switch doesn't have competition with software prices is just wrong. 

Well yeah, was an huge issue.

That's very unlikely at this point. The Switch is the hottest platform around at the moment, and it's going to be around for many more years to come. Ignoring a console base of over 50 million sold units is just bad business at that point. Publishers pricing games like that is just them testing the waters on what they can actually get away with, and if they see that people will just pay whatever price they set for even older games like stranger's Wrath, then of course they are going to price them accordingly. If, however, the sales aren't there they will have to either drop the prices, or leave a massive potential customer base completely untapped, which is something that goes against everything game publishers believe in.
