Side note:

Apparently the Switch 2 version of "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the
Wild" (which will be a 'complete' version) will costs $90. I guess
that once you set the 'new standard' price at $70, you might as well
go for broke and up the price of the game everyone actually wants
(even if it is almost ten years old by now) at $90.

AS I said, I'm not totally against the price hike; it's been a long
time coming and normalizing at this higher rate might make some
publishers

      [Not the Ubisofts or EAs or Take Twos or
       ActiMicroBethesdaVisionSofts; I mean the smaller
       publishers that may still prioritize quality games
       over revenue-at-any-cost]

            reconsider things like MTX, F2P or live-service nonsense
designed to endlessly vaccuum cash out of player's pockets because
it's the only way to remain solvent.


Still, $90 is quite a jump. Especially for a game that's been released
on at least two previous platforms already. That's getting to
Bethesda-level of audience-milking.
