This pricing is why Nintendo doesn't want emulation of its games, while other companies don't give a shit because they either figured out how to port their shit over to PC or did a multiplatform release to begin with. Steam was the largest reason piracy for games has literally shrunk and why so many from the scene stopped. Make it cheap and easy to get the game, no need for people to pirate it. Nintendo did the exact opposite and has tried and tried to keep it on a closed platform...yet it's one of the most emulated company out there.

Nintendo makes great games and has super scummy business practices. The ideal combo for pirating.

Lol that's the truth.
