I already replied to you.

Also, it's hilarious that you are mocking me for being "entitled", when you are talking about the "blood, sweat and tears" (lol) Game Freak spent like... 22-23 years ago? I mean, talk about hyperbole xD

Shall I remind you that GBA games were 8 dollars on the Wii U? You don't seem to adress that. I don't want the games for free. I already have the games for free (who hasn't emulated an old Pokémon game before). But we can still discuss if the price is fair or not. Shutting down the discussion just because we are not talking about water, milk or vegetables is silly and dumb.

Also also... GBA games are ROMs. Not ISOs.

The difference is that a lot of people, I am pretty confident, are willing to pay 20 bucks for Fire Red and not probably not for Castlevania Aria of Sorrow or Drill Dozer. 

Speaking for myself personally, I don't see it as "GBA games should cost X" I see it as "how much enjoyment am I gonna get out of this". 

Good for them. That doesn't make it any less of a rip off. It's a very old game that they haven't even ported to run natively on the Switch: it's running on emulation and they haven't changed a single thing about the original release. It's a simple ROM (probably with the legendary events unlocked) + a GBA Emulator. They don't even adress the many flaws within the original FRLG. The work behind it is less than minimal: a single person could have it done in less than a week.

No, it's not worth 20 dollars. And millions of people purchasing it at that price won't change that fact.
