Sounds like EA/Nintendo pricing has taken hold.

'premium' and not 'full price' can mean anything between .01 USD and 79.98 USD at this point when you've got a major console and publisher reporting bullshit 80 dollar price points.

You give these corporate jackasses a inch and they'll bend you over and I for one don't trust any of these AAA publishers.

My guess is they're looking at Nintendo here and seeing if they push 50 - 55 USD a 'premium', executive bullshit buzzword on par work AAAA gaming, over what is considered normal, 40 USD, now for a live service game.
