A few things of note happened in the past couple of weeks that we wanted to address. The first is that Metroid Dread was released as a full-priced $60 game, and the second is that the Nintendo Online Expansion Pass was made available for $50/year. There's been different forms of backlash to both of these things and today we're here to ask: why? Do we agree with the current pricing structures? Should we join the outrage mob? Or should we all just focus on our backlogs?
