Message: [QUOTE="Naosuke, post: 161223, member: 2068"] The topic will be politicized no matter what, that's the truth. I'm not American, so I could care less to what is happening there, but I tend to see people who always jump to the "it's tariffs fault", are either Americans, or overly invested in it's politics. Back on the topic, that's 100% on Nintendo, and they're pulling a Take2 from 2020. If the physical only were higher, sure, maybe it could've the benefit of the doubt, but they're not pulling that from nowhere. You just need to look at how they priced Tears of the Kingdom, and how a lot of people actually defended it. The got away with it, and they will do once again. The fact physical will be another $10 on top of that, is just another middle finger telling you to buy on the eshop instead of your store of choice. In all honestly, the times of homogeneous pricing of MSRP are done I think. People will pay $100 to pay GTA VI, people may pay $80 for something released by EA, but I doubt people will be lining up to pay even $80 for whatever Marvelous or Nippon Ichi is publishing next. But there's also the psychology of pricing in all that, so it gets even complicated, which sort of makes me doubts if my own thoughts could be wrong... And the cherry on top, that's sort of an "first world" look, when you go to places which are poorer, but they aren't total poverty, it gets even more complicated. But from experience being in one of those poorer places, the price increase to $70 didn't help any bit, and I see less and less people getting games on release, and being more critical of what they buy.
