Maybe, but do you have a term for someone that makes decisions based on spreadsheets, market surveys, and maxing out profits while ignoring years of goodwill from fans?
- skyyler 2y agoIf they were making decisions based on maxing out profits, there would be a Mario Wonder Battle Pass and the gacha mechanics in the new zelda would include microtransactions. Mario Kart for $80 is not MBA stuff, even if it makes the gamers really upset.
- egypturnash 2y agoAccording to online calculators, $20 in 1980 dollars is worth about $80 today. $77.something to be precise, close enough. I chose 1980 because that's when Space Invaders came out for the VCS. And $20 was, IIRC, the going rate for the average VCS cartridge.
- skyyler 2y agoFor a more direct comparison, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! came out in 2003 on the Nintendo Gamecube, at an MSRP of $49.99. That is $86 in today money.
