Shit, I even find $80 CAD Xbox controllers to be too expensive. I flinched at the $99 USD price, but hadn't seen the Canadian one.
Same. You can get some decent controllers for 50 or less.
This doesn't really compare, it's a premium controller with multiple different input methods and features to integrate with their other hardware. If you just need a basic controller, this obviously isn't pitched at that.
I thought it was originally targeted at MUCH cheaper?
In my head spending more than $60 on a controller or game feels absurd.
That’s what my brain has proved anchored gaming stuff at from when I was a kid.
Is hard to get passed that feeling.
There is more justification for physical items, since the cost of materials and transportation has gone up. But games, which are just data? Pure greed.
It really is.
I'm just closing my eyes and praying to Gabe that I made the right choice.
