Their games have always been expensive , but they are but they've always been this side of reasonable. Let's see how $90 games treats everybody.

I wouldn't want to spend $90 on my kid, the little shit isn't worth it.

My son‘s birthday is coming up and I’ve been telling people for years to get us steam gift cards.

I think I realised what my big problem with $90 games is for Nintendo and it's this, when I was a kid I used to save up money and buy game boy games. It was an important thing my parents made me do because it meant that I learnt you don't just get given things for free (gifts are of course fine but at some point you need to learn about working to get money for things you want).

There's no way he's going to be able to get $90 in a reasonable time frame. What's he going to do, cut lawns for 2 years in a row?
