Great! Outer W0lds 2 drops back to $70.

Outer Worlds* doesn't exactly seem like the kind of game that could command $80.  

The list of games I'd be willing to spend $70 on, is very short in the first place. It's mostly From Software, Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Team Asobi and that's assuming they stay within a genre I love. I'd be fine spending $70 on a potential favorite game of all time. 

Anything outside of that, I'm waiting for sales.

Yeah $70 is a hard sell already. I'm still salty about the jump up from $60.

Death Stranding 2, Horizon 2, and Ragnarök. I think my only $70 games.
