   @Gatitasecsii inflation + bigger games + bigger teams + bigger budgets = higher price.

   i'm of the opinion that games need to be drastically scaled down and a lot of the industry needs to be cut with a focus on smaller, tighter experiences. that's kind of what indie games are for, though.

   as far as nintendo goes, i guess we'll have to wait and see if $80 is really worth it for mario kart or not. it doesn't seem like they have shown that much of it. there could be another situation like tears of the kingdom where the depths weren't talked about at all, they were just in the game for players to find. personally, i know i will get $80 worth of mario kart world either way, just because i am a huge mario kart fan and will likely play it for hundreds of hours, but if other people don't think that then i guess we will see a change in direction.

   i do know that with how many people already don't want to buy a lot of AAA games at $70 or even $60 (or in the case of something like concord, even $40), with tons of studios closing down because of it. things are going to be accelerating faster now with the game industry i think, if these companies are really going to try pushing for their shitty games to be $80 without a huge change to every facet of development.
