Based on this thread a lot of people clearly care about the price here. The first thing you do when you see that there's a new game announced is ask yourself "Do I want to buy this?" And part of that is going to be the price. I don't know why you're bothered at all by people talking about price. That's why Sega put out everybody's least favorite Monkey Ball on next gen platforms. Publishers never put unreasonable expectations on games or make assumptions about what might sell or not based on a bad version of the product fans want. More options is always better for the consumer, if the alternative is that you'd have to buy a console to play KH, or that you'd need a functional PS2 to play Dark Alliance, then the price doesn't seem that For sure. The same goes for things like the PC port of Kingdom Hearts, who cares what is costs as long as it gets made, you always wait for the price to drop if it's too much for you. If they couldn't charge $30 for it then likely it would not have been made. There are folks out there for whom the price is not an issue, let them pay for the work it takes to develop this port and let the rest of us enjoy it later. The original game was well received on the original Xbox. There's a lot of great games lost to time from an era where backwards compatibility didn't exist, and not so great games that regardless deserve to be remembered and made accessible. The port of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance has arrived prior to the soon releasing Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance.

It's a port of a game that nobody knew they wanted, and if they've waited 20 years for it then surely they can wait 6 more months for a sale, and there's a good chance it'll be on Game Pass / PS Plus / Humble Bundle / Epic Store giveaway for free in about a year. Quite honestly I don't see the point of complaining about the price.
