"People expect games that are ever more ambitious and therefore expensive to develop to cost the same."

People expect games that are ever more ambitious
Nono, people expect Good games, that doesn't have anything to do with ambition.
- Exactly. Look at Nintendo. A fun game doesn’t mean you have to have bleeding edge visuals.
  
  Yes look at Nintendo, shitty visuals and high prices.
  
  And crappy framerate. No sales and a predatory dlc system
  
  Makes profit or they’d stop doing it.
  
  Their games have always been expensive , but they are but they've always been this side of reasonable. Let's see how $90 games treats everybody.
  I wouldn't want to spend $90 on my kid, the little shit isn't worth it.
  
  My son‘s birthday is coming up and I’ve been telling people for years to get us steam gift cards.
  
  I think I realised what my big problem with $90 games is for Nintendo and it's this, when I was a kid I used to save up money and buy game boy games. It was an important thing my parents made me do because it meant that I learnt you don't just get given things for free (gifts are of course fine but at some point you need to learn about working to get money for things you want).
  There's no way he's going to be able to get $90 in a reasonable time frame. What's he going to do, cut lawns for 2 years in a row?
  
  Work at the meat plant, with all the other 10 years old.

  Dear internet person, this whole discussion is being triggered because Nintendo, of all people, decided $100 was an acceptable price for a video game. They are the asshats who opened the flood gates for the corporate zombies to waltz in.
  
  I appreciate being formally addressed. Thank you.
  Unfortunately this will continue to happen with or without Nintendo being first to do it. They happened to be this time, and it’s BS. But now more than ever people need to vote with their wallets.
- People praise expedition 33, that game might as well be an xbox 360 game and it people would still absolutely love it.
