Nintendo is releasing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at a higher price point, but Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser says it will be worth it. Games are getting more and more expensive to buy, in part because they’re becoming more and more expensive to produce (yes I do realise part of that is because executives are earning too much)....
