What game is $90?

Also, there's been inflation, so $60 in 2017 is $76 today. So an $80 game is about 5% more.

I don't think publishers quite realize that they have to compete not only against each other but also against older games, which have crazy value compared to modern games.

Titanfall 2 goes on sale for €5 very frequently, and is the best single player shooter out there. The Master Chief collection is €40 when it's not on sale and that's 6 very well made games.

A €80 game will have to provide more value than that for me to consider it. To be honest I don't think it's even possible. And that's not even considering how much of a crapshoot modern games are quality-wise.

Mario cart is 90 for physical cartridge

After searching, I've found some news articles that say that. But Nintendo's site (https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/featured...) says “$79.99 MSRP”, but that doesn't say whether it's physical or digital. Weird.
