So uhhh why was this $80 again?

>>715446898 (OP)
Because Nintendo said so

>>715446898 (OP)
Games cost more now due to inflation. Believe it or not, it's not the 80's anywhere where a game has at most 5 devs. Larger teams = bigger budgets

Cause people will pay 80 dollars for it

It was $50 really

>>715446898 (OP)
It's called the free market you communist faggot

Because Nin10yearolds will pay anything. I don't know why they stopped at $80, should've made it $150. Tendies will still scoop that dogshit up.

I love aryanimalposters

>>715446898 (OP)
woah, let's cool with the anti-semitism there

>>715446898 (OP)
Because of all the title and frer updates in the future

>>715446898 (OP)
to listen to engine noises and only play the tracks nintendo wants you to play, duh

>>715446964
anon look up cartridge game prices in the 80s it was even worse than you can imagine. Those shits were almost $80 back then not even inflation adjusted.

>>715447570
Which means they should be even higher than they are now.

>>715446964
Games should be cheaper since physical manufacturing has been reduced to almost nothing.

>>715446898 (OP)
64GB express SD cards are very expensive, please understand

>>715446898 (OP)
Because the map is large

>>715446898 (OP)
I paid 50€ for it and felt that to be too much.

because real fans will find a way to buy the game

>>715446898 (OP)
Because the dev cost is always proportional to the production cost of the game's content, and the Overworld added onto the usual amount of Level Track production and Music production amount to 20$ + 60$.

Nothing insidious and I can't wait for Snoyfags to realize the reason they're not paying 80$ yet is because Snoy literally thought they could nickel and dime you through Microtransactions in "Live Service" games instead.

Nintendo makes 80$ complete games instead, while Snoy thinks you can stay at 60 or 70 by earning the rest back in continuous revenue. It's so stupid, but it's Jimbo's fault.

it's a big impressive AAAA game that was made for 10 years

>>715449487
>10 year

kinda sorta, because cartridges are actually significantly more expensive to produce than CDs were so when you got the PS1 era games started getting cheap.

Did anyone not just buy the console bundle though?

>>715446898 (OP)
>why was this $80 again?

Played it more than any other game this year and it only came out last month.

And the best part? It didn't cost me $80.

Notice how no one brings up the incredible ost with far more music from the mario series than ever before
