Nope, $70-120 is crazy for a game and especially for those that have in-app purchases as well. Forget the inflation argument - games today aren't worth full price 9/10 times. Consumers really are pretty complacent in 2025 and FOMO is still at large.
These companies continue to scrape for every penny with quality a sacrifice. PC games get these awful console-style menus and games are more poorly optimized than ever. Consumers need to speak with their pocketbook and stop making it so easy for these big studios.
Finally. A "discount"...which barely meets pre Covid era
lol, prior to Covid, switch games rarely ever saw discounts. That holiday season was really the first time we saw first-party Switch games priced at $30-40.
Saturday will probably be the last day. Ad sales typically run Sunday - Saturday. That said, it's an unusual week and there's a very good chance these sell out before Saturday even arrives.

You sound like a grandpa talking about $0.05 cheeseburgers.
Inflation isn't going away, just need to deal my friend.
$50 is January 2019 is the equivalent of $64.50 now in terms of buying power.
$40 in 2004 is $70 today in terms of buying power. Games used to be $40 in early 2000's, now they are $70. They are not more expensive, they actually are tracking exactly with inflation.
That is just how the world works, better luck on your porch in a rocking chair shouting at clouds then changing inflation.

Inflation may be up and games may be on track with inflation but the majority of people havent seen their wages increase at the same rate. So a $40 game back then doesnt cost the same as a $70 game today.
This year just doesn't seem to be a good one for Black Friday Switch deals. Last Black Friday, I picked up Tears of the Kingdom for $30. The Christmas season before that one, I was able to get Mario Wonder for $25. Alot of people are staying home more and are just going to pay the high price for the game they want to play.

Real inflation is much worse than that.

I believe $30 is a good price on that. Alot of people have Thousand Year Door as their favorite in the series.
