The price is ridiculous but why lower it? It sells. That’s a key point to capitalism. The argument about Nintendo “killing” other capitalist endeavors is just so weak in the face of that. Indie games are king right now, steam is probably the biggest distributor right now. It has nothing to do with competition, it’s all demand.
Also: everyone buys them anyway, so why wouldn’t they charge as much as possible?
This is the truth.
