    Being the first in the industry to charge $80 for a standard game is extremely aggressive.

          Idk who the first was, but Ubisoft, Activision, and EA all release $80 games. Plus there were N64 cartridges back in the 90s that cost $70-$80

            I’m talking about now, not 30 years ago when the market was completely different. None of those companies have charged more that $70 for a BASE version of a game - I’m not talking about definitive, ultimate, whatever editions. Mario Kart World is JUST the base game, nothing else included, for $80.
