Right, but how many have been complaining about the €80 digital price for MKW? The outrageous part of the MKW pricing is the $80 price in the USA and the €90/£75 physical price in the EU/UK, both of which are higher than Madden.

$70/€80 digital games has been the industry standard for years now. MKW's digital price in the UK/EU isn't a big issue. That's just Nintendo catching up to the norm, it's the $80/€90/£75 pricing that is higher than any other standard game.

How many more days are we going to play this pretend-game that MKW is not available in a bundle, and that MKW will never ever be included in a bundle again after 2025, and that MKW will never be discounted on the eShop, and that European retailers will never dare to undercut the MSRP for physical games?

The outrage isn't coming from the people who intend to buy a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World, because anyone who wants these two things has long recognized that there's a bundle available where they'll actually pay less than they originally expected for a new Mario Kart game.

How many times does it have to be said that an optional bundle doesn't magically make them charging $80 for it not in a bundle ok? Just because there's a way to avoid bullshit doesn't stop bullshit being bullshit.

I will be playing MKW on June 5th.
