I once said that I would gladly pay $100 for a new game if it was complete on disk and quality. The problem is Gamefreak hasn't been quality in over a decade.

Also tons of games have already broke the $100 mark if you add up all the microtransactions that are needed to make a game complete. MK11 used to cost $6440 for getting every skin and that's only if you had perfect luck in your drops.

Nintendo has definitely gotten greedy this gen but to call them the most anti-consumer company is nonsense. Plenty of companies charge over $500 for a single game when you include MTX. Plenty of companies release games in a physical format that is gimped by an always online restriction. Indiana Jones for example is nothing more than a 1MB stub on the disc that sends you to download the rest of the game. Steam claims to be pro-consumer, but still allows Denuvo and third-party launchers that threaten to revoke access to a game you bought.
