I remember being in the Stardew Vallet subr×ddit with someone talking about their guilt pirating the game because they really really enjoyed playing it but just couldn't afford the 15$ price at the moment.

Several players graciously offered to purchase & gift them the game on Steam.

It was so lovely.

People will happily pay for good, enjoyable games they feel are worth the price.

I'd like to play that new Princess Peach game one day, but there's no fucking way I'm paying 60$ to play a game I'm not even sure I'll like.

Nintendo is just on their own planet when it comes to... Basically everything, including game pricing.
