Yes, the games are much more expensive and it’s very shocking. But looking at what the value of $60 was 8 years ago (when the Switch released), you get almost right at $80. It costs more to produce games, we expect them to be better and longer and with more features than the previous versions, but we also don’t want to pay more. At some point, this was bound to happen.
Some games for the SNES and N64 were this expensive (Castlevania IV was $72.99 back in 1992!!) and then things stabilized and we have been at $59.99 since 360/PS3/Wii U ($49.99 for Wii if I remember correctly). That’s a very long time for that price point.
I’m not saying not to decide what is best for you…by all means. But also maybe let’s not just go crazy about something that really is somewhat expected when looked at with any amount of critical thinking.
That said, the paid demo is absolutely batshit crazy and there is no justification for that at all.
