     @lain I do feel like this is a valid concern though.
     If Nintendo is willing to charge such prices I feel like they should at least be pressured into competing with their peers and including industry standard stuff (like antialiasing)

     @lain is there any other community that has as much reflexive rumination about price?
     >this feels like a $20 game
     >$35, max
     >for $100 it should come with at least 4.333 DLCs, and not only 2 DLCs
     >buy it only if discounted to $4. The $10 price is too high
     these don't even feel like sincere statements, but formulaic ones. After blowing 500 hours on this live service game I'm obliged to argue that the skins are well-priced, but that the palette colors should be free.

     @lain >Less than $50 million.
     Why would doing a port, or even writing a kart game from scratch with some re-used art cost millions?
     
     Supertuxkart didn't cost millions to write and each track didn't cost millions to design and draw either.
