Eh, I think 70$ is too high.
AFAIK, Electrohaze didn't see much money from the musical part he worked on despite that being more effort than making the physical part of said CD.
The package itself uses borrowed artwork, as opposed to original artwork. Thus, not that much effort really has to go into the packaging thing... effort sure, but not the kind of effort that would warrant that much of a cost.
I'd say 50$ tops for the whole thing and even that's pushing it since you can almost get a damn Everdrive for it at that point.
Unless I am mistaken, the parts for their HuCards aren't that expensive since they got like, a f*ckin ream of ROM chips that they've likely already profited off of due to all the other repro sales. And speaking from the fact that... we make HuCards too, and have to buy chips/boards.
The real effort and cost-increaser lies in the ROM hack itself, and music rediddling efforts. I don't think the person who did the ROM hack sees any kickback.
Electrohaze's Download 2 remaster was like 20$.
We make fun of Tobias when he cobbles together other people's art for a package to sell a game he didn't make.
This is the same thing. It's too expensive, and defeats the purpose.
The photoshoppery and such doesn't warrant the price increase. It's only at that price because people pay for it without thinking. They can get away with it, so they do.
"Shit 70$ for a new game package! ? COOL GIVE ME IT"
