Yeah this is too far. Fuck Nintendo with a rusty spoon. $70 I can get since the rest of the industry has kinds moved in that direction but going upwards of $90 is insane, especially given that their games are basically treated like the Criterion Collection of video games.
I was pretty grossed out about them charging for res/frame rate boosts on Switch titles but this is just stupid. If console games have to cost $90 (on top of endless subscriptions for recurring revenue) for the thing to exist then development needs to be scaled back or something has to change with the business model because that isn't sustainable. The target should be to grow your audience and draw new people into the ecosystem, not milk existing customers even more.
