I made a funny. Ha.

Don't believe everything you read

It's actually crazy how many people are going with the story the Switch 2 physical games are $90. Almost every video I've seen covering it has parroted this claim.

The whole thing seemingly stems from Americans being unable to understand that €90 and $90 are not the same thing.
