They need to rise prices, video games are still the cheapest form of entertainment and if adjusted for inflation cheaper than ever.

People complaining clearly been stuck on the couch too long playing too many video games as they haven't bettered their financial situation in the last 10-20 years.

why do you argue on behalf of corporations looking to suck every penny out of the working class? You do know that when prices go up, that hurts your wallet as well, yes? I donâ€™t think youâ€™d be all too happy if I started taking an extra $20 out of your wallet every time you purchased a Nintendo game.

Today's games are much more than the RRP on the box, years ago your share of RRP x Sales numbers is how the money was made, now though it is but one part of the income stream, subs/various digital editions that tend to add little beyond cosmetics and a digital soundtrack that gives them a high roi and a myriad of other ways to get the gamer to continue to fork out long after they bought the game.

Research shows Video games help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Because inflation is real and everything has gone up and corporations still need to pay developers money.

I already spent 20 bux more on Nintendo games and happy to do so as mu wages have doubled since the last Nintendo console. At end of day people still need to work and make a living.

Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are still highly profitable and making Billions.

Developers and Publishers are forever breaking records and bringing in more revenue through -volume- of sales.
Case in point, if Mario Kart World was half the price at $40, Nintendo would still make Billions of dollars off that one game.

The higher prices are unwarranted and should not be championed or supported, it's anti-consumer.
