    You can buy musical instruments for that price software or hardware synthesisers, for example.

    But that’s exactly the point, I’d rather pay double, triple, quadruple for something I know I’ll use for hundreds of hours (a monitor, a new keyboard, a Steam Deck) than 80€ for a game that will last me 12 to 30 hours (I only play offline story-based games).

    Even if I considered game X, there are decades worth of games availabe for under 10€ that I would rather get now or buy a Humble Bundle while waiting for a sale.

    The issue becomes of all publishers start to follow Nintendo’s model and not dropping the prices much.
