Like I said in the other thread, the game is review-proof. People know what they're getting.

USFII is kind of like Switch on a smaller scale. Its appeal is still outside the comprehension of the hardcore gaming enthusiast. Forum posters like us think, "oh it's only three bucks on PS3 or X360" or "it's a port of a 26-year-old game."

What we fail to understand is that millions of people never owned a PS3 or X360, and many of them are excited about playing the final version of an iconic game that captured their imaginations as kids.

We've been under the spell of the "AAA" gaming machine for too long.

I get why it would appeal to those people or even me, but the price is still a bit too high.

Fair enough. I'm totally sympathetic to folks who see the price tag as too high. This is an expensive hobby and I'd never begrudge someone being careful with his/her money.

But just as many of us, myself included, wrongly believed $300 to be too high a price tag for Switch, I think we're also underestimating the appeal of a title like USFII. We're people who are buying dozens of games a year, stretched thin across multiple subscription services, accessories, and season passes. Meanwhile, someone who hasn't owned a console in a decade or more looks at Switch at $300 and sees a steal. The same is probably the case for a game like USFII.
