Mario Kart World is absolutely not a high risk release.

Mario Kart 8 made about 3 billion dollars on an estimated 100 million dollar budget.

Following your logic Mario Kart World should cost less than the average game, when it's actually more expensive than a riskier game they're releasing (Donkey Kong Banaza). The most recent Mario Kart (Tour) was also free to play.

Wouldn't it be sensible to put the higher price on the sure thing than on the game that seems far riskier? People WILL pay for Mario Kart. They won't pay a higher price for a 3D Donkey Kong.

And if it weren't a franchise marketed primarily at kids I might not think that was scummy.

Idk how to break this to you, but kids won't be the ones paying the $90

Which is what makes it scummy. Kids won't know or care if it's more expensive and parents will cave and pay the price anyway.
