I don't understand why reviewers pay attention to price, I get why you want to point out what you perceive as "bad practices" but that should be in a different segment, not something you talk in your technical analysis of the game. Especially that non-Nintendo games don't hold their value (for very good reasons) and drop in price faster than I drop hot potatoes

I think I partially agree with this. That's why I've always found the rage for next gen games being 70 USD pointless

Just wait 3-4 months and you can buy everything for half of the price. I'm waiting some years before buying a PS5 so I can get any 2020-2022 game for less than half of the price they cost now (and only if they don't go on PS Plus first)

For Nintendo 1st parties however I scrutinize the price as much as possible because I know they won't go on sale often. For instance: Pikmin 3 deluxe, I've send almost 80 USD to get a physical copy, it's a great game but I've played for about 15 hours and there wasn't much more to do afterwards. In other hand for less something like 20 USD I can get 5 indies on Steam and have just as much fun as I had with Pikmin 3 (and I will be supporting small dev teams which is something I personally like)
