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.

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.
