    The problem that they’re not considering is that if they raise the prices, more people are going to be priced out of buying the games, and will resort to piracy. The cost of living is absurd right now, and I can only afford a handful of $60 games a year.

      Why resort to piracy, just wait for next years 75% discount. It even comes with all the bugfixes.

        I’m not going to argue the ethics of piracy, because the point is that a lot of people will do it if they otherwise cannot afford to buy games. Also, some games just never really go down in price, especially if you’re talking nintendo. To this day Breath of the Wild is still $60 if bought new or digitally.
